Safari Field Guide Instructor Due to increased training demand in the Safari industry we have capacity for at least 5 instructors. The salaries are highly negotiable, depending on years of experience and skill sets, we are also willing to identify good individuals that dont have all the necessary qualifications, and invest in them to get the necessary industry qualifications. Candidates that have studied conservation, wild life management etc, can also fit this profile for development, not only guides. Our long term strategy is to develop young instructors into Head Instructors and pollinate the industry with very well trained guides, but we would encourage guides to give back to conservation by giving experienced guides the opportunity to become highly skilled instructors. Our requirements are: Head Instructors should have a minimum of : o NQF 4, VPDA, FGASA Professional Field Guide, Professional Trails Guide and Current Advanced Rifle Handling (or very close to attain these) o 5 to 10 years related industry experience o Current NDT Registration o Current PDP o Current FGASA Membership Assistant and Junior Instructors should have a minimum of: o FGASA Nature Site Guide (NQF 2/4), FGASA Trails Guide NQF 4 and Current Advanced Rifle Handling, or a relevant qualification. o Guiding and/or other related industry experience o Current NDT Registration o Current PDP (desirable) o Current FGASA Membership The vacancies are for our Karongwe, Timbavati, Pridelands and our Makuleke camp but also any other venues we might utilise for training.
