Safari Field Guide Course in South Africa

Bushwise is a great course to attend, if you have a love for the African bush you'll love this course! It's not for the light-hearted though and it's important to fully prepare yourself before getting into action. The trainers and other staff at Bushwise are extremely helpful and they take our motto "students at heart" very seriously, it's been amazing and the support is indescribable. Thank you Bushwise!

Where to begin? At the start of the 6 months I was a city boy with little Knowledge and turned into this man who can guide people about the wild. I've learned so much, from the smallest of insects all the way to how the weather works. I enjoyed the bush walks a lot while doing trails and track and sign. The ARH was very thrilling. The campas life, meeting new people making memories and random trips to town is what Kept us going. I had training equipment to keep me fit and a swimming pool for the hot days. For new students, study. You have to study with the time you have and make sure you workobooks are up to date. Always have enough snacks and rest when you can. I learned that alot of food and sleep helps me get through the months.

Bushwise is an incredible experience. You will learn so much about the environment, the world of guiding and conservation, and also yourself. I could not be more thankful to the trainers and staff at Bushwise. The course is tough, it's a lot of hard work, early mornings, and long hours, but I would not trade it for anything. The experience, knowledge, and certifications you obtain after those long hours are worth it. Halfway through the second semester, I broke an ankle and I feared I wouldn't make it through the course, but the trainers and staff were unbelievably accommodating and helpful. I have trainers and fellow students that will certainly be lifetime friends.
