Operating for more than two decades, EcoTraining is the pioneer and leader in safari guide and wildlife training in Africa. EcoTraining is widely recognised by the safari industry for its credibility and standard of excellence in nature guide training. We offer accredited career courses, gap year and sabbatical programmes, nature programmes, high school and university study abroad programmes, custom courses and on-site professional guide training at safari lodges. All courses are run directly from EcoTraining’s unfenced bush camps in prime wilderness areas across South Africa, Botswana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. To date, EcoTraining has trained over 13,000 people from 33 different countries around the world.

EcoTraining offers customised courses for agents and tour operators to assist them with the planning of educational safari itineraries catered for small group departures, alumni travel, summer schools and university study abroad programmes.

All customised itineraries have a strong ecological learning component and are intelligently tailored to factor in the objectives of the client to ensure all deliverables are met and exceeded.

EcoTraining offers tailor-made on-site field guide training programmes and practical learning solutions for safari lodges. This is to assist lodge managers and owners by ensuring their professional field guides meet FGASA and CATHSSETA standards.

The type of customised programme will be based according to a
thorough needs analysis of the field guide in conjunction with the
desired objectives of the lodge.
