NJ More field guide college experience

My 6 months at the NJ More field guide college was an experience that changed my life forever. I learned so much about what the bush has to offer and how everything is connected. The college is a place where you can go and learn from the absolute best in the industry. The facilities are amazing and Accommodation is really comfortable. What a privilege to study in the bush and live comfortably as well. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and always willing to help the students. I would highly recommend the college to anyone.

What was your funniest moment?
When we were doing trails and got charged by 2 male lions sleeping in the raisin bushes. We surprised them so everyone including the lions got a fright. The situation was well handled by Phillip and there were some nervous students
, but it was a moment I will never forget.
Pros
  • Incredible reserve and scenery
  • Amazing bird life
  • Great food
Cons
  • None

My time at More Field Guide College

Graduating from MFGC in 2017 marked a transformative chapter in my life, one characterized by profound personal and professional growth. The educational journey at MFGC equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of our environment, providing me with invaluable tools and knowledge. The dedicated guidance and expertise of our esteemed facilitators were instrumental in shaping my learning experience, fostering an atmosphere of collaboration and excellence.

One aspect I particularly cherished was the intimate learning environment fostered by smaller class sizes, allowing for personalized attention and tailored support. This not only enhanced my academic pursuits but also facilitated meaningful connections with peers and mentors alike.

Since graduating, I have had the privilege of continuing my journey with the esteemed MORE group for the past 7 years. This ongoing partnership has been instrumental in furthering my career trajectory, culminating in the prestigious recognition as Safari Guide of the Year 2023. Such achievements stand as a testament to the unwavering support and mentorship provided by the MORE group, without which my accomplishments would not have been possible.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The first time I ever saw an elephant on foot from only 50m away was one of the most exhilarating experience for me. Trusting the experience of our Trainers and learning from them, knowing that one day. This would be me!

Amazing

My time at MORE Filed Guide College was absolutely amazing. The 6 month course I did was life changing and allowed me to learn valuable knowledge about Africa and the African Bush. The experienced facilitators were passionate and always eager to go above and beyond to teach us. My time at the college was truly unique and i feel that I've made a family that will last a lifetime. The accommodation was very comfortable and the three meals cooked for us each day was delicious. A huge thanks to the support team for making my stay awesome, safe and absolutely unforgettable.
