  • As an owner run and managed company our service is personalised. You will never be just a number.
  • We have been involved in many forms of nature education for the last 16 years and are passionate about offering life changing wildlife experiences to our students no matter their age.
  • Our classes are small. We only ever have a maximum of 10 students per course ensuring indidivualised attention.
  • We are one of only two companies currently offering Transport Education Training Authority (TETA) accredited 4×4 training as part of our Field Guide course (FGASA Level 1). We believe it is crucuial to educate our graduates to the highest level of professionalism and safety.
  • Our accommodation offers a high level of comfort and privacy. Students are accommodated in thatched chalets with air conditioning, fans and en suite bathrooms. Each chalet accomodates only two people and we have two chalets available – at an additional charge – for anyone who wishes to have their own space.
  • We are uniquely situated just an hours drive from the Indian ocean opening the possibility of experiencing both ‘bush and beach’.
  • We are situated in a privately owned 14,500 ha reserve where the Big Five roam free.
  • Our career courses are all accredited by the Field Guide’s Association of southern Africa (FGASA) and CATHSSETA.
  • We are the only company offering a distance learning course with a combined practical. If both elements are successfully completed a guiding qualification can be obtained. We created this course based on the fact that not all people who wish to change career are able to take two months off work to study fulltime.
