This Blog created by PROTS will be used to monitor and publish the learning progress of the Guides employed by Macho ya Tanzania, a Safari Company at Kudu Lodge and Campsite, Karatu - Tanzania.

12 Guides completed a 14 days intensive course in Professional Tour Guiding & Leadership that equipped them with initial skills on how to improve their knowledge base in the following:
1. Wildlife Ecology and Natural History - the Project Assignment is Photographic Commentaries.
2. General Knowledge - Project Assignment is - Information File.
3. General Identifications - Project Assignment - Progressive List of Birds.
4. Fluency in English - Project Assignment is - Spoken English Phrases.

The Guides will be working on the above projects and their progress will be monitored by PROTS by checking and correcting the work through this blog. Occasionally, the trainer will visit them on a pre-arranged or even surprise basis to do physical snap-check.

Below are individual pages for each guide that will publish Project Assignments by the guides as they progress through the this e-learning program.

18. Project Assignments.

PROJECTS.
This page publishes the details of the Project Assignments given to the Macho ya Tanzania Guides.
1. Information File.
This project required the Guide to read different sources of information and identify any details that he thinks might be required during his guiding duties. He will select a title for that information and file it Alphabetically in his Project Compilation. This way he can be sure to give a correct answer in any circumstances by having this very important reference tool. The File is a small Box File that is easy to carry in a car or day-pack.
2. Photographic Commentaries
Wildlife Tour Guiding is about knowing what to say during the interpretation tasks done on Game Viewing.
The Guide is required to cut different photographs from Postcards and Magazines and paste them on his project papers. Then for each photo he writes details in the following format.
a) Title of the topic - the focal point in the photo.
b)  Quote: One, two or three sentences of what he might say during such a sighting.
c) Source: Name of the source - Guide Book, Wildlife Documentary, etc.
d) Additional inform from his personal opinion of general knowledge.
3. General Identifications - Birds Progressive List.
Guides are required to make a list of species of birds they can accurately identify. This list will be progressive as new entries are made. The trainer will check it several times.
4. Spoken English Project.
This project has 5 steps.
a. Listening to the movie, soap or comedy.
b. Writing spoken phrases quoted from the movie.
c. Identifying the key word in that sentence.
