About Douw Kruger - Motivational Speaker

motivational speakerSince his childhood, Douw has had an intense interest in Nature. At the young age of seven he accompanied his father on safari’s in Africa.

Successfully completed his studies in Nature Conservation, he chose a career where he specialised in Bush Survival Training for helicopter - and fighter pilots as well as paratroops, in Southern Africa.

As a qualified Professional Safari Guide, Douw led and undertook numerous safaris. He is familiar with places like the Zambezi Valley (Zimbabwe), Luangwa Valley (Zambia) and went as far north as Sweden.

His passion for Nature led him to awesome places like the Iguassu Waterfalls and Amazon Jungle in Brazil; Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens in Mauritius; the world’s biggest Volcanic crater Karthala on Grande Comore; the Grand Canyon and the roof of Africa – Kilimanjaro.

Douw has a special feeling for animals. That is proved by the fact that he is also a trained Farrier and Veterinary orderly.

Douw is also known for his wildlife related articles in various magazines and participation in competitions or television programmes of similar subjects. He was also involved in the training of the "Survivorman" for a Discovery television series.

Douw believes that by discovering the uniqueness of other species, we might discover our own potential and uniqueness! To find answers on many of our questions, we must go back to our basis – Nature!
