Due to the coronavirus pandemic, no graduations have been able to take place at the Southern African Wildlife College since 2020. Now, at the end of November 2022, these graduations could finally take place. The students of the 2020\/21 course once again traveled from Zambia, Malawi and South Africa to receive their diplomas in person. The two ceremonies on 30 November and 1 December were very successful and were enjoyed by students, student protection organizations, donors, board members, family members and staff alike. It was an unprecedented task to organize these graduations with so many students, but as befits the College team, everyone put their best foot forward and pulled off two wonderful celebrations. <\/p>\n

There was a festive atmosphere and lots of laughter throughout the day. While the dancers entertained with African drumming, the guests enjoyed a delicious three-course lunch in the shade of the Amarula tree in the college garden.<\/p>\n<\/div>
