Who goes on the Field Guide/Game Ranger courses?
• People wishing to become a professional Field Guide in the safari industry; • Adventurous spirits looking for a learning holiday with a difference; • Tourists wanting to gain a better understanding of Africa’s web of life and a greater appreciation of conservation; • Gap year students or executives taking a career break. For those not aiming for a career as a Field Guide, but wanting to learn for their own personal growth, the knowledge and experience gained from a 28 day Field Guide course will stimulate any safari and bush holiday and give the experience a whole new meaning. Many participants who do not want a career in the industry choose not to take the formal FGASA qualifications and just take the in-house examination – which is absolutely fine.
