Alex van den Heever grew up on a farm, and after studying Marketing and Business Management, he joined Londolozi Game Reserve as a game ranger. He dedicated much of his 13 years there to learning the ancient art of tracking, and has tracked many of the world’s big cats, as well as grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park. In 2010, with the help of Mrs Gaynor Rupert (Chairperson of the SA College for Tourism in Graaff- Reinet), he established the Tracker Academy, which is a non-profit organisation for training disadvantaged rural people in the traditional skills of wildlife tracking, and ensuring that indigenous knowledge of tracking animals in the wild could be secured.
