About Bushwise

Bushwise specializes in running professional FGASA's (Field Guides Association of Southern Africa) accredited courses and Hospitality Course and Work Placement programmes. Both the organisation, as well as our graduates, are highly recognized in the hospitality industry due to our high standards and excellent reputation.

Bushwise is an ideal platform for a successful career in the challenging and competitive ‘Big 5’ industry. The aims of the courses are to provide well-rounded and specialised education and the training specifically intended to provide the vocational skills and qualifications required by employers in South Africa and the wider Southern Africa region.

Based in the prime game viewing area of Limpopo - students will have first hand access to the world famous "Big 5" as well as many other exciting species, with amazing views of the Northern tip of the Drakensberg mountain range

The hospitality programme was born out of Bushwise’s extensive contacts and excellent reputation in the Hospitality industry. Over the years, through our dealings with lodges for placements for Field Guides, we saw the opportunity for professional students to assist in luxury Game lodges across Africa, while gaining invaluable international work experiences in many of the hospitality areas. Currently students with previous skills and/or experience are being given this unique and life changing experience to be involved in skills exchange, in some of the top lodges in Southern Africa.

Bushwise and its staff are directly linked with Global Vision International (GVI) an internationally recognised organisation which assists with marketing, recruitment, pre-country and in-county support. GVI has a wealth of experience in volunteer and student placements as well as training and course development. Every year they currently send over 3,000 people into the field worldwide. Together GVI and Bushwise have combined their experience and skills to develop a training program of excellence.
