Field and Guide courses: How to find a suitable course

Which Guide Course is the right one for me?

The right course for you depends on your interests and how much time you have available. You can choose to spend a few weeks learning to read animal tracks, exploring African wildlife and plant life, or discovering how flora and fauna interact.

For those seeking a more immersive experience, you also have the opportunity to train as a Field Guide in the African wilderness in just 55 days. A standout option is the Professional Field Guide Course, which equips you with everything you need to become a ranger within one year, all while experiencing Africa’s untouched natural landscapes.

It’s also important to consider your budget, as course costs vary depending on the duration of your stay. When planning, remember to factor in additional expenses such as flights, transfers, visas, insurance, and any necessary equipment. For detailed information on what’s included in each course, please refer to the product descriptions on our homepage.
