In 2012 Bushwise Field Guides graduates achieved the highest pass marks of all FGASA long term providers and are considered some of THE best trained guides in the industry.

To date we have trained over 200 professional field guides, many of whom are now working at some of the finest lodges on the best game reserves in Southern and Eastern Africa.

We have built our outstanding reputation on providing the very best field guide training, with a dedication to the idea that nothing can substitute for experience working on safari. As such Bushwise graduates are sought after in the industry by some of the leading lodges and research programmes in South Africa.

We also ensure that our students experience Africa in a fun, safe and responsible way that will lead them to become the very best safari field guides with an eye for conservation and attention to protect the areas in which they work.
