During this 28-day FGASA Trails Guide course, most of your time will be spent on thrilling bush walks in big game country. You’ll explore the Makuleke concession in Kruger National Park or the Mashatu Reserve in Botswana on foot.

This FGASA-accredited course, Field Guide Level 1 (NQF2), is ideal for aspiring field guides and those pursuing careers in South African wildlife and ecotourism. During this 55-day program, you’ll immerse yourself in the African bush, gaining valuable hands-on experience in nature.

If you intend to become a Field Guide or pursue any other career in this field, as a FGASA (Field Guide Association of South Africa) certificate is essential, then this is the course for you. The 1 year course covers a broad spectrum of subjects both out in the field and in the classroom through daily lectures. You will be continually on a learning experience exposed to the African bush and being submerged in nature.
