About Douw Kruger - Motivational Speaker

At the age of seven, Motivational Speaker, Douw Kruger accompanied his father on the first of many safaris to Africa.

His love of nature has never waned and after completing his studies in Nature Conservation he chose a career specialising in Bush Survival Training for helicopter and fighter pilots, including paratroopers, in Southern Africa.

Douw has not always been a motivational speaker, driven by his affinity for animals Douw trained as both a Farrier and a Veterinary orderly. Furthermore as a qualified Professional Safari Guide, Douw has led numerous safaris, taking in the spectacular beauty of the Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe and the Luangwa Valley in Zambia, venturing as for north as Sweden.

Training for the Discovery television series “Survivorman” relied on a lot of input from Douw who was able to advise and train participants, himself having been a visitor to the far ends of the planet, including the Iguassu Waterfalls and the Amazon Jungle to the worlds largest volcanic crater Karthala on the grande Comore and the roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro.

Through his travels and because of his passion for Nature, Douw has built a reputation for himself writing articles on wildlife for several magazines and for participating in television programmes of similar content.
