Nomad Guide School is a mobile training institution operating across Botswana’s premier wildlife destinations, including Moremi Game Reserve, Khwai, Nxai Pan, and Savuti. Our flexible setup allows students to train directly within diverse natural habitats.

A full course runs for 28 days and can also be taken as two 14-day modules. This flexible structure suits both beginners and working professionals for both the Nature Guide and Trails courses.

Track & Sign – 14 days, or as requested (minimum of 7 days).

Enrichment Course – 14 days and can be privately tailored.

The fees cover:

• Tuition and practical field training
•  Accommodation and meals during the course
• Training materials and certification (where applicable)

No previous experience is required. The Nature Guide Course is ideal for beginners, while the Walking & Weapon Handling Course is designed for those progressing toward a Trails Guide qualification.

Absolutely. Many participants join simply to deepen their understanding of nature and enjoy the wilderness, without any intention of becoming professional guides.

Upon successful completion, students receive a Nomad Guide School Certificate of Competence. Those wishing to pursue professional licensing may also be assessed for BQA (Botswana Qualifications Authority) or FGASA standards, depending on the course.

We provide a detailed packing list upon registration, but essentials include:

• Comfortable, neutral-colored field clothing
