Category: News from the field

In June 2022, Bushwise and the Southern African Wildlife College (the SAWC) welcomed the first group of scholarship recipients under our new collaboration. In January 2023, two new field guide candidates arrived on campus. Let’s hear their stories and how they realised this was the career they always wanted!

Ziphozonke Zwane

Born in 1998, Ziphozonke comes from Ladysmith in KwaZulu Natal. Ziphozonke is passionate about wildlife and sees herself as a dedicated and hardworking individual. 

“I am eager to learn all there is about wildlife and hope that this experience with Bushwise helps kickstart my career.  I believe that in life you have to start somewhere. I started with the Southern African Wildlife College where I completed a short course in Responsible Resource Use and was encouraged to find out more about their other course offerings. That led me to apply for the Bushwise training, and I hope this helps kickstart my career. I believe hard work and diligence pays off.”

When asked why she wants to become a field guide, Ziphozonke said, “I wanted a place where I will be constantly learning new things everyday and be able to meet different kinds of people each day. I also love that field guiding can teach you about everything in nature. I’d rather be outside than indoors in some office!” 

“I love the outdoors and am a keen hiker and jogger but also believe in giving back to the community and assisting and educating where I can.” She added, “Apart from becoming a guide, I would also like to engage in wildlife research if given the opportunity.”

Edward Papado Tivana

Edward is a 27-year-old male from Timbavati Village in Acornhoek. He finished his Grade 12 studies at Masingatana High School in 2014 and then went on to do a Diploma in Office Computing. He has been waiting a long time for an opportunity to study as a guide after working at Blyde Canyon Safaris, Mariepskop View and Sable Tours as a Driver.

He says he is a hard worker having come from a family of 10 and being raised by his mother, a single parent, after his father passed away. Edward’s father worked in Kruger National Park, which is part of what inspires him to want a career in ecotourism and conservation. He wants to become a guide so that he can help change people’s perceptions so that they want to help protect our natural environment. 

“If you can change one person’s thinking or inform them better, it means that you can actually change lots of people’s thinking or inform a lot more people about nature and wildlife. Guiding gives you this opportunity as everyone loves to share their experiences after having been on a game drive.”

For so long now he has been hoping for an opportunity to study field guiding, and the opportunity finally arrived with Bushwise and the SAWC. “I love to tell stories so I think I will be a good guide sharing information about nature and the animals tourists see. I want to work my way up as a professional guide so that I can become a head guide. I also want to bring community members together so that I can tell them the importance of conserving our nature,” he added. 

A bright future ahead of them

We’re so proud to have Ziphozonke and Edward with us this year. They both have a strong drive to learn and make a difference in the world. Ziphozonke’s eagerness to learn and her passion for the outdoors, and Edward’s love of storytelling and desire to educate the community about nature, will certainly make them valuable additions to the field of wildlife conservation! 

We look forward to following their journeys and seeing how their experiences with us shape their future careers. To keep up with Edward and Ziphozonke, follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Thank you to the SAWC for the photos and quotes.

So you want to become a qualified field guide? Fantastic! This career is challenging, fascinating, and incredibly rewarding. In this article, we’ll help you understand how you can start a career as a field guide – also known as nature site guide or safari guide. Let’s start with IFGA, which is the cornerstone of Bushwise’s field guide training courses.

What is IFGA?

IFGA stands for the International Field Guide Association. IFGA defines professional standards for the world’s leading wildlife and safari guides. It was created by and for guides across the globe to establish stronger standards and higher expectations for qualified guides. Bushwise is the exclusive IFGA training provider in southern Africa.

How can I become a qualified IFGA guide?

Guides can become IFGA qualified in two ways:

1. For new guide candidates, by earning their qualifications with an IFGA-certified training provider. For example by joining our 60-day Safari Guide course or our 6- and 12-month International Field Guide course.

2. For existing guides, an IFGA-certified assessor can conduct an assessment onsite or at their training campus.

Bushwise is the exclusive southern African IFGA-certified training provider, and our trainers are IGFA assessors. Our IFGA courses will allow you to become a CATHSSETA qualified nature site guide and offer the opportunity to work internationally as a guide.

What is CATHSSETA?

CATHSSETA stands for the Culture, Arts, Tourism, Hospitality and Sport, Sector Education Training Authority. This body governs professional qualifications in the mentioned industries, including in field guiding.

Bushwise curriculum for field guide training is aligned with the IFGA standards and Bushwise is accredited with CATHSSETA. This combination means Bushwise offers the most internationally-applicable field guide training, which is also nationally recognised in South Africa.

What is NDT?

NDT is South Africa’s National Department of Tourism. CATHSSETA Nature Site Guide (NQF2) is the basic qualification which everyone needs in order to register with NDT as a legal guide. This is your entry-level qualification which will then allow you to apply for work as a nature guide.

These books will prepare you to be able to write the NQF2 theory. All the modules are covered by the one exam, each exam varies.

1. Your pack will include a logbook and an information book about IFGA and the different IFGA qualifications.

2. NQF2 study material which is a training manual consisting of many different modules (including taxonomy, insects, birds, grasses, trees etc.)

3. A guiding skills manual on guiding etiquette and a workbook used together with the training manual to help you study.

What is covered in the Bushwise field guide course?

Our in-person courses cover the following topic areas and more, in addition to significant time in the field getting practical experience. Topics include:

Guiding and Hospitality

To excel as a guide, you must master the subtleties of hospitality, guest hosting, experience planning, and tourism fundamentals. Acquire the soft skills necessary to offer your guests an exceptional experience.

Flora and Fauna Identification

From the smallest insect to the largest elephant, and from ferns to towering trees, discover what makes various species of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) distinctive. Develop a deep appreciation and understanding of biodiversity and the vital roles each species plays within an ecosystem.

Animal Behavior

Why does a lion roar? How do impalas communicate? What does it mean when an elephant flaps its ears? Ethology, the study of animal behavior, helps us comprehend the reasons behind animal actions. Enhance your storytelling skills by interpreting animal behaviors for your guests in real-time.

Viewing Potentially Dangerous Game

In our field, it is crucial to identify warning signals from potentially dangerous animals and know how to respond safely and appropriately to ensure the protection of your guests, the animals, and yourself. Training emphasizes respect and strong guiding ethics when dealing with dangerous game.

Vehicle Skills & 4×4 Driving

Vehicle-based game drives are a cornerstone of field guiding. We provide training on vehicle mechanics and safety, including proper 4×4 and off-road driving techniques. A manual license and driving experience are required. Participants over 21 must obtain their PrDP to transport guests.

Advanced Rifle Handling

Learn to handle a rifle safely and competently, with an emphasis on using it only as a last resort. Rifle handling is part of your training to become a trails guide and covers rifle and ammunition theory and practice. Successful participants will receive a SASSETA certificate.

Track & Sign and Trailing

Experience the thrill of interpreting the “bush newspaper” by examining animal tracks and understanding the stories they tell. Learn to identify various tracks and signs, follow animal footprints, and decode the messages left behind.

Additional Modules

Our curriculum aligns with IFGA, CATHSSETA, SASSETA, CyberTracker, and other institutions. Additional modules cover subjects such as wilderness first aid, reptile handling, survival and navigation, conservation management, habitat rehabilitation, and more.

In order to obtain any of the CATHSSETA qualifications (ie, Nature Site Guide NQF2), you will need to complete a written theory exam as well as then complete a practical assessment/exam.  You cannot obtain any CATHSSETA qualification without doing this. Both components are included in your Bushwise course.

Practical Assessment:

The practical assessment is NOT the same as practical work experience. You do not need to have any prior practical working experience in order to do the practical assessment. You will, however, need to have a broad knowledge of the area in which you are going to be conducting your practical assessment.

Before being practically assessed/examined for any level:

• You need to be affiliated with an accredited training provider like Bushwise.

• You will need to have a valid first-aid certificate

• You will need to have handed in your workbook to the assessor/training provider

The assessment is only one day and it consists of taking the assessor on a guided nature experience, in a limited geographical area (either with or without paying clients). If you are not on a course with an accredited training provider, then your practical assessment/exam should be done either in the area you are currently working in or the area that you will be considering working in, as it is a site-specific assessment. Remember, our IFGA and CATHSSETA accredited assessors can assist with this assessment as well – learn more here. If you are not on a course with an endorsed training provider, you will need to contact the assessor directly to organise your assessment (Bushwise can also assist with this).

#1 Option: Study in the bush!

Your first option in obtaining your field guide qualification is to go on a course with a CATHSSETA accredited training provider (like us!). By attending a course you not only attend daily lectures to assist you for the theory exam, but you will also gain a lot of practical knowledge regarding all the different aspects of the bush, which will be beneficial for your practical exam, as well as providing you with some experience.

You will also be trained by experienced staff with working backgrounds and knowledge on what is expected of a nature guide, working at a lodge, who will be taking paying guests on a guided experience within the bush. The Bushwise trainers combined have over 100 years of working experience.

#2 Option: Joining an online field guiding course!

If you don’t have time to join an in-person course, you can also consider beginning your training through an online program. Bushwise offers three online courses, the longest of which (at just 12 weeks) gives you the basis you need to pass the CATHSSETA NQF2 theory exam.

Because real trainers (experts in their field) run the online courses, and there are other student from around the world with you, you’ll have fascinating interactions as you learn all about nature and wildlife. The flagship online course we offer is the Bushwise Field Guiding Online course. This is also included in your preparation for either of our in-person courses.

Once qualified, what are your options? 

Once you have completed both theory and practical you will qualify as a CATHSSETA Nature Site Guide (NQF2).  This entitles you to legally guide in the SITE in which you were declared competent to guide (i.e. where you did your practical). A site is a game reserve, national park, or nature reserve for example.  As a site guide, you cannot conduct a guided experience throughout a province or over the entire country.   You are restricted to the sites in which you have been declared competent to guide in.   

CATHSSETA and Bushwise will provide you with your certificate and a letter which will enable you to register with NDT (National Dept. of Tourism). This is who you must be registered with in order to guide legally.

Bushwise is accredited with CATHSSETA (culture, arts, tourism, hospitality and sports sector education and training authority). Once you are fully qualified, we will load your achievements onto the CATHSSETA database. Once we have done this, it can take anytime from 3 – 6 months before certification from them, and this is also dependent upon if we have received all the required documentation from you (certified ID/passport and highest education).

What else is required once I have my qualification in order to work as a Field Guide?

You will need a valid Level 1 First Aid certificate. This covers basics such as shock treatment, CPR, basic sprains, burns, wounds, bleeding and bandaging etc.) is needed before any CATHSSETA certificates will be issued.  You do not need to have this prior to joining, but you will need to get it either during study or once study is completed before you will be issued with your certificate.

Some training providers include this in their course, the first aid training provider must be registered with the Department of Labour. You will also not be able to register with NDT without a valid first aid certificate and the international first aid is not accepted by NDT.

 Bushwise has built a reputation as a leading training provider in the safari industry based on our exam pass rate average, employment rates and level of professional and high-quality training. We offer one of the most comprehensive courses available.

The course has been designed to develop highly skilled professionals in the exciting industry of field guiding. The aim of the course is to provide a well-rounded and specialised education and the training is specifically intended to provide the vocational skills and qualifications required by employers in South Africa and the wider Southern Africa region.

In January this year, Bushwise and the Southern African Wildlife College launched an exciting new collaboration. With a shared goal of positive transformation in the field guiding industry, our two organisations are helping to pave the way for more accessible and inclusive career paths for aspiring guides.

At the heart of this transformation is a call to create more local employment opportunities by training candidates from communities around Kruger National Park. We are excited to introduce four students who are currently on full scholarships, sponsored through this collaboration. Please join us in welcoming Queeneth Seepano, Slon Khoza, Thinnah Mbombi and Siphiwe Khoza!

Let’s get to know these future field guides a little bit better. Slon, Queeneth, Thinnah and Siphiwe were part of the SAWC’s Youth Access Bridging Course. They were selected to continue their training as Apprentice Field Guides, under the expert guidance of Bushwise and the Southern African Wildlife College. At the end of this training, selected individuals may go on to become assistant or junior trainers.

In their first week on course, we asked all the field guide students the following questions: “Why do you want to become a field guide?” and “Why are you doing this course?” Let’s see what our four featured students had to say…

Queeneth (Welverdiend, Mpumalanga): “This is a great honour for me – I’m very excited. I am a nature lover. Being out in the bush with wildlife really cools me down. I’m doing this course with the hope that someday I will be a field guide, a professional one and a birder. This is a step for me to reach the level that will qualify me to be a trainer one day.”

Slon (Welverdiend, Mpumalanga): “I am proud to be selected for this course. I want to be a teacher in conservation, to meet people from different cultures, traditions, countries and places. I find field guiding to be a foundation to pave my career, that is why I chose to do this.”

Thinnah (Giyani, Limpopo): “This course means a lot to me because it gives me a chance to conserve nature. I come from a village where there is a game reserve and I grew up around nature most of the time. I learnt a lot about nature and conserving it – being given a chance to become a field guide means a lot to me.”

Siphiwe (Welverdiend, Mpumalanga): “I come from a village with unity. A village where we still believe in the use of natural resources. I have a passion for wildlife and I want to be out in the bush – exploring and gathering information to share with my guests and my community. I believe I can change their perception, which can help in the sustainable use of natural resources, to be preserved for future conservation.”

As excited as our students are for this opportunity, we’re even more excited to see them grow as field guides. 

Through this collaboration between Bushwise and the Southern African Wildlife College, we’re bolstered in our determination to transform the field guiding industry. We hope to see an increase in field guides coming from local communities, bringing with them valuable local knowledge and experience. 

Our major goal is to provide sustainable opportunities to participants’ families and contribute to diversity in the industry. Together, we’re training future ambassadors of the natural world to become world-class field guides. 

We’re excited to see how the Bushwise and the Southern African Wildlife College collaboration will impact the guiding industry. Follow Bushwise and check our blogs regularly to see what Slon, Thinnah, Siphiwe and Queeneth get up to on campus over the next six months!

The Safari Guide of the Year 2022 competition was nothing short of spectacular. The five finalists spent the week showing off their skills in multiple events, from advanced rifle handling to bush walks, game drives, and track and sign. It was the ultimate show of skills and knowledge in the guiding industry, and Bushwise was thrilled to be the host sponsor. The finalists were:

1. Liam Henderson, the Homestead in Nambiti Game Reserve Reserve

2. Cameron Pearce, Ongava Game Reserve in Namibia

3. Nico Brits, Bushwise Trainer at our Mahlahla campus

4. Solomon Ndlovu, Singita in the Kruger National Park

5. Ruvan Grobler, Lion Sands in the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve

The week started with contestants, sponsors, judges and media arriving at our Kempiana campus at the Southern African Wildlife College (SAWC). Bushwise was proud to host this prestigious event back in the home of field guiding, the Greater Kruger National Park. This was also an excellent opportunity for us to show off our newest campus, where we train field guides in collaboration with SAWC.

Guests, judges, sponsors and other leaders in the safari industry were present to cheer the competitors on, while waiting with bated breath to see who would come out the winner overall, and in the individual categories. 

One thing that stood out for all attendees of this event: it wasn’t just about the competition, it was equally about the camaraderie and friendship shown between the finalists. 

Whenever there was a moment to relax between activities, you could find the five contenders huddled in a circle, laughing and swapping stories. Their shared passion for the bush, love of wildlife, and years of experience brought them close together throughout the week. 

But still – someone had to win! Without further ado, we present the overall winner of Safari Guide of the Year 2022: Cameron Pearce. Cameron was the overall winner of Safari Guide of the Year 2022. He also won in the categories of Guided Walk, Track and Sign, Birding and Storytelling. 

Nico Brits won the categories of Hospitality and Best on Camera. Throughout the week, Nico paid close attention to every guests’ needs, taking utmost care to ensure that each person felt welcome and cared for. When he was interviewed live on WildEarth, he did an excellent job of engaging with and entertaining the audience!

Ruvan Grobler won the Photography category. During his evaluation drive, he did an incredible job of angling the vehicle for photos, stopping smoothly and exceeding many other requirements for a photographic safari. 

Solomon Ndlovu took the award for Advanced Rifle Handling. His shooting was quite impressive – hitting an exact spot multiple times on one target. When he would finish an exercise, the excitement in the crowd was palpable. 

Liam Henderson took home the best in Game Drive category. Liam navigated the reserve professionally, incorporating many elements of the ecosystem into his discussions,  interpreting animal behaviour and sharing excellent sightings with his guests.

The wildlife played ball with us this week with some truly incredible sightings. When it came to interpreting animal behaviour, the finalists had more than enough opportunity to show off their knowledge!

On one game drive, we were even treated to double male lion sightings. But it wasn’t just about the big game – birdlife was also plentiful. On the guided walks, the finalists were also able to discuss some really interesting animal activity, such as an aardvark excavation.

The final evening of the event was a bittersweet moment, as guests, judges, sponsors and finalists alike had made lifelong friendships throughout the week. As the countdown to next year’s event begins, we at Bushwise would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in Safari Guide of the Year 2022. 

To Michelle du Plessis, Mike Karontonis, the SAWC, WildEarth, RuggedWear, Sapmok, CanonRSA, AccidentAngels, Kruger2Canyon, and all individual sponsors who joined us: thank you for making SGOTY 2022 so memorable. 

A special thank you as well to the Deputy Minister of Tourism, Mr Fish Mahlalela, who honoured us with his presence at this significant event. You can watch the SGOTY 2022 awards ceremony on the WildEarth YouTube channel.

There are big and exciting things happening at Bushwise. To keep up with the excitement, follow us on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.

We’re taking a moment to celebrate our Bushwise graduates – a group of incredible individuals who have just completed their six-month Professional Field Guide course. As they head on to the next stage of their career, Bushwise’s Louise Pavid bids them farewell with this thoughtful story.

Six short months ago, 34 fresh new faces arrived to take on a training experience designed to give them the best head start to their careers in wildlife.

Needless to say, the adventure that awaited them is one they won’t soon forget! It included iconic African animals, first aid training, snake handling, expert 4×4 training, advanced rifle handling and so much more!

The first semester kicked off with all the basics, an introduction to field guiding, the basics of vehicle checks and of course orienting around the wilderness that surrounds the two beautiful campuses.

Once the basics were done and dusted, the students then got a chance in the hot seat, and by hot seat I mean driver’s seat. It’s one thing to enjoy a safari experience from the high-tiered benches of a game viewer, it’s quite another to be the one responsible for delivering that experience.

And so the weeks sped by as our students practised their guiding, learnt about all things great and small, from lions to lapwings, no literal or figurative stone was left unturned or unexplored. As the students’ knowledge grew, so did their passion for wildlife and their bonds of friendship and support.

One thing is for sure, giving up everything you’ve known to live with a bunch of strangers in the wild for six months while training to take on your future career takes courage. It’s also, almost, a given that no matter who you are or where you are from, having a common interest and desire to achieve something brings people together.

By the fourth and fifth semesters, everyone was ready to take on their assessments, both practical and theoretical.

It’s fair to say that once our students completed all aspects of their training there was a large and collective sigh of relief. Not in a bad way. More in a “we’re finally where we want to be and have earned ourselves a little break before embarking on our career” kind of way. The buzz of excitement was tangible as everyone arrived at the beautiful Blue Mountain Restaurant for their graduation celebration.

The students arrived in their graduation best, grinning from ear to ear. The staff’s warm smiles reflected the common sense of nostalgia that envelopes us all when celebrating the achievements and the final day of our students’ time with us at Bushwise.

Head trainers Vaughan and Francois stood proudly as they handed out certificates to each student, recognising the hard work and dedication that went into their training and qualifications. Sophie, co-founder and director of Bushwise, gave an impactful speech about the important work the once students, now field guides, will go on to do in the safari, ecotourism and conservation industries.

We celebrated our top academic achievers and our amazing allrounders. We raised glasses, clapped our hands and danced the day away. Eventually the time came to say goodbye, we shuffled to our respective vehicles and made our way back to campus to finish off a night of celebration around the fire.

The following morning was full of tearful farewells, long hugs and supportive words of encouragement as everyone finally set off on their different career paths. No matter what direction a Bushwise graduate takes once their course is complete, it’s safe to say that lifelong friendships, experiences and fond memories will live on in the work and dedication of each of our alumni as they forge their pathway in their career with wildlife.  

As the January-June 2022 class of Bushwise field guides graduate, we wish them the best of luck in the next stage in their journey. Are you ready to follow their footsteps? Apply today!
