Kinessa’s love for animals and helping save the wildlife has brought her to Africa several times where she helped with the local communities to not only help stop poaching but to help with local orphanages.
Kinessa is continuing her effort in Africa with Tac Trac AP training in SA where she will complete a 5 week course in the African bush to be legally able to work in Africa as a AP instructor for Tac Trac.
Tac Trac is South Africa’s leading trainer of high quality anti-poaching rangers. Their rangers are placed throughout Africa to stem the flow of illegal wildlife within and without the continent. TacTrac combat tracking Academy which is based in South Africa, intends to field Rangers in other African countries in the future.
By helping put trained veterans through specialized training in the African bush, we can bring to bear the quality military experience and combine it with focused training on the mission and environment these rangers will be working in. It is very hard work, but not impossible.
