Recently I got pretty interested in safari hunting and I fell in love with southern african scenery and fauna. Being pretty young I'm still looking for careers to pursue in the future and I thought to myself 'hey why not guide in africa?'. I love my home in the US and moving to africa just seems too impractical but I'd still like to lead and participate in safari hunts.. Is there any way I can work as a guide in South Africa, Botswana, etc seasonally without gaining citizenship in those countries?

(I wouldn't mind just paying for the safaris but I like the experience of leading something and the prices tag on those hunts make me and my wallet sad)

Also some more context: I'm considering going to the okavango guide school to gain experience. Hope someone has an answer. Anything helps!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
