Program information

Join GVI’s sister organisation, Bushwise, for a 35-day immersive walking safari, where you’ll encounter Africa’s most iconic wildlife on foot.

The Bushwise IFGA Trails Guide Course (27 days) is for adventure seekers looking to participate in something other than your typical safari, or for aspiring Trails Guides who already have their CATHSSETA NQF2 qualification.

As a participant, you’ll join expert trainers and qualified guides on foot, exploring areas where no safari vehicle can go. If you’re a qualified safari guide, this is your chance to log crucial hours and gain hands-on wildlife encounters under the guidance of Bushwise’s seasoned trainers.
