The Bush School provides an education in conservation and wildlife to the school children of the area.

Learners are selected and hosted at the school for 3-day courses that combine lectures with experiential training in the impacts of human behaviour on the delicate ecology of the area.

The school is funded by the Timbavati Association in conjunction with the Limpopo Department of Education. Annually two learners are awarded scholarships by the South African Wildlife College to further their conservation studies.
