Introduction

Our courses aim to equip you with the correct skills and knowledge to find employment and ensure you continue to strive forward to become a future industry leader. We believe in stimulating a self-learning philosophy focusing on guest relations and conservation issues, while staying true to the ethics of a passionate and professional guide. Our interactive learning experience is fun and adventurous while being carefully designed to suit your needs, the ecotourism industry, and the various training authorities policies and regulations.
 
All our trainers and assessors are active guides dedicated to giving you an adventurous, enjoyable and meaningful learning experience that carries ecotourism forward while educating you on “real conservation principles.” On graduation, our team can also assist in finding you employment within the industry in Botswana, South Africa and other African countries.
 
All our courses are held in pristine wilderness areas boasting a wide diversity of animal species. Each course is run in an environment as close to a typical operating safari camp as possible, to ensure you benefit from a complete understanding of a day in the life of an operating professional guide. Our schedule is flexible according to weather and the occurrence of wildlife sightings. We try as far as possible to include all members in the learning experience.
 
Our theoretical lessons make use of flipcharts, workbooks and digital projectors, but the real hands-on learning takes place in our safari camp simulation and in the field. You will be assigned tasks individually and as part of a group to test your skills regarding the responsibilities of a guide in a camp. We focus on applying the knowledge you learn during theoretical lessons out in the field where you will gain tangible, practical and first-hand knowledge and skills in the art of professional guiding.
