Pantsula, the Cool Dance of South Africa's Urban Youth
Literally, pantsula translates from Zulu as "to walk like a duck". It's an energetic, syncopated urban dance that originated in Johannesburg townships during a traumatic period of apartheid in the 1950s, and is today seeing a resurgence among the black youth (as well as some whites) of South Africa.

“Once in a lifetime trip”
As you all might know by now, FGASA (Field Guides Association of Southern Africa) have changed their required number of days allocated to a level one qualification to 60 days from next year. The EcoTraining 28 day FGASA qualification will be your last chance to do a 28 day course with the FGASA exam. We decided to make this a “once in a lifetime” opportunity.
Participants will be trained in 3 different reserves as part of the 28 day program; the training will include reserves in South Africa and Mashatu Game reserve in Botswana. The staring date for this specialist 28 day FGASA course is November the 25th 2011. (Remember you don’t have to do this as a career, you can also do it as part of the adventure of a lifetime)
We started in 1993 with a mission to raise the standard of guiding in Africa.
EcoTraining is the oldest field guide training company in Africa. We
were one of the first companies to conduct formal training programmes for
nature guides. We are known in the industry as the pioneers and leaders in
field guide and nature training.
For more than a decade, we have been sending people of all ages into the African wilderness to learn about the environment in exciting, in-depth and sensitive ways and to find out what it really takes to become a game ranger or a field guide

Hi Nayaz,
There aren't any flights between Nelspruit and Hluhluwe. Your best bet will be to fly from Nelspruit to Durban and then travel by road to Hluhluwe. Driving time is about 3 and half hours.
Could anyone advise me if there are any flights from Nelspruit to Hluhluwe?
what is the best way to get there?
thanks
Nayaz
