Thank you for the most amazing, engaging and interesting courses provided. The live Webinars has been great, hearing other peoples journeys in this industry and getting the word out there. It was so interesting to learn everything it never got boring!

The course exceeded my expectations. It went into so much more detail on aspects that I'd never even considered to be relevant and it wasn't until doing the course I realised just how connected everything is. The trainer was brilliant; friendly, approachable and also incredibly knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed the Masterclasses on both astronomy and reptiles, I hadn't quite realised just how interested I'd be in the subjects, however they're now both areas I'd definitely like to learn more about.

I definitely enjoyed the course, you gain a lot of knowledge and it feels so good to talk to people about nature and understanding and knowing what it is about. I don't look at nature or any small living organism the same way as I did previously.

Overall this course was amazing I have learned so much and gained so much knowledge, the only thing I would like is one lesson on each subject per week so people can fully understand the subject matter. It would also be amazing if a live game drive or walk would be possible so we can start putting what we have learned through the weeks into practice, especially with animal and plant identification.

For anyone (and everyone) wanting to learn a little bit about the essence of Africa and all the beauty that it possesses, whether for interest, intrigue or a career – I cannot recommend a better course than the Bushwise Nature Enthusiast Course. Run by a team of experts (I mean EXPERTS) passionate about African nature and wildlife and giving people the opportunity to delve deep into the heart of the African bush. It is hard not to leave this course feeling a little homesick, wanting more, as it gives you an irresistible glimpse into the question, ‘What is it about the African bush?’

It’s been an absolutely great time and a super introduction to all the different aspects of becoming a field guide. Although it was “only” an online course it’s been fun to interact with the trainers and students via Zoom and the discussions in Canvas.

A wonderful course filled with loads of information, all set out in an easy to follow sequence. It built on my already existing knowledge and taught me many new things. The discussion topics were interesting and insightful and left one feeling as if we understood the world at a greater level.

This is hands down the best online nature-related course I have taken. In the past, I have studied Wildlife management and Game ranch management online with South African institutions but this one has been the most interesting and engaging course not just in terms of content but engagement. I would highly recommend it to those with an interest in Nature.

I thought I had average knowledge about nature but very soon realised this was not the case and that I have lots to learn. The course is very insightful and I learned so much. I loved meeting students from all over the world. The student discussions were so interesting and taught me to look a little deeper into nature. I will recommend this course to anybody curious about nature and wants to learn more. It changed my whole perspective on nature and I can’t wait to delve deeper into mother nature.

The online course was a fantastic experience. It allows you to study in from the comfort of your home and gives you a taste of what life will be like in the practical course. Plus, you get to meet the other students and work together. Even if you do not plan on doing the practical course, you will gain valuable knowledge of SA wildlife and ecosystems.

Bushwise provided an efficient platform that made the learning process an enjoyable one. A highly knowledgeable and professional team kept the environment friendly and light-hearted and created a family atmosphere that was a pleasure to be a part of. The industry-leading masterclass guests allowed us to gain valuable insights into the great work taking place behind the scenes and diversified the experience as a whole. I enjoyed the course from start to finish and look forward to working with the Bushwise team in the future.

I loved this course – was very informative and helpful. Before the course I found it all to be very overwhelming, but as we say you eat an elephant one bite at a time and this was the perfect way to eat my elephant. The topics were so helpful, broke things down simply which helped me and now at the end of it I am not worried about continuing my studies as I have such a better understanding over it all.

The course was really insightful and interesting! There is plenty of information, not just from the manual but also from your trainer. It was really cool being able to interact with people from all over the world and hear everyone’s viewpoint on different topics.

The online course was an incredible experience! I went in having a fair understanding of nature, however, I have expanded my knowledge in nature more than I ever expected. The online course was extremely easy to follow and the Bushwise team made it an incredible experience all-round.
