Sondela Academy is located on the Sondela Nature Reserve, Limpopo, South-Africa where we are serious about nature conservation, hospitality, and training our youth in coaching, facilitator, and occupational health and safety courses and many more. We provide the managers and staff of tomorrow with the skills and coaching they need to excel. While a student learns the theory to become a manager, facilitator, or chef, they also get hands-on experience on the nature reserve.
Many visitors to Sondela enquired as to practical training opportunities at the nature reserve, and we saw the demand and opportunity to provide quality, workplace-orientated training in the hospitality industry, conservation, and gamekeeping. With the registration of the first private students, Sondela Academy was formally established in its current format and has grown from strength to strength.
Whether your aim is to be a Chef, a Manager in the Hospitality Sector or Conservation Manager, you can achieve your goals when studying with us!
