Overview

Spring has arrived in South Africa. Across the bushveld landscape, flowers are blooming, temperatures are warming, and new life is beginning. It’s time for a fresh start. There’s no better time to make a change in your career and join a Bushwise course!

You’ve always wondered about becoming a field guide. Or you’ve always wanted to live in the African bush and learn about wildlife – but you don’t know if it’s possible (hint: it is!). You have questions about the training experience and career options in conservation, safari guiding and ecotourism. We’re here to answer your questions!

On 17 September 2022, we’re opening our virtual doors to all future field guides and those looking for a life-changing gap year experience. Join us for a live discussion about our in-person and online field guide courses, and learn how you can make a change and start your career as a safari guide or conservationist.

During this interactive online event, you’ll hear more about our career courses, online courses, internships, and our employment guarantee. We’ll also have a discussion with a Bushwise alumnus about their time on their course and the exciting career journey they’ve taken.

Our experienced staff members will be available live to answer all of your burning questions!

As a bonus, by attending the event you’ll qualify for a reduced deposit of ZAR8,500 (GBP680, AUD1280, CAD1170, EUR800, USD930). A limited number of scholarships are also available for Open Day attendees (for 2023 start dates only).

If you’re interested in a career in conservation or safari guiding, this is your chance. Let the change of seasons move you – to go wild in your career!
