Overview

Bushwise is the leading safari guide, field guide, and conservation training provider based in South Africa. Founded in 2006, it operates multiple campuses in prime wildlife areas like the Greater Kruger and KwaZulu-Natal and acts as the exclusive Southern African trainer for the International Field Guide Association (IFGA). 

In early 2024 we also launched Bushwise Exclusive  that provides immersive travel options for small groups, families and multigenerational families. The Wilderness Conservation Expedition for nature enthusiasts is an immersive safari experience designed to introduce the adventure tourist to a completely different safari and aims to provide the nature enthusiast to a higher level of insight and travel that matters. 

Over and above our range of Exclusive use properties under Bushwise Exclusive, we also provide set departures for FIT bookings
