Brought to you by 

On July 2nd 2022 WildEarth will be broadcasting The Safari Guide of the Year award ceremony LIVE onto WildEarth from Bushwise Wildlife College.

Sponsored by Canon, this will feel like the Oscars of safari guiding. Steven Faulconbridge will be the host and prestigious people from the conservation and hospitality industry will be awarding the prizes.

What is Safari Guide of the Year?

A guide is critically important to a traveller’s experience when on holiday in South Africa. A personable and informed guide can make or break the experience for so many. However a field guides career is not perceived by the world as a “serious” career and is largely considered as a fun job with a short lifespan.

For some however, this is their life. Not enough credit is given to the professionals that have constantly experienced life-changing ordeals in a dangerous environment.

Safari Guide of the Year is an annual event which creates awareness for these men and women who dedicate their lives to tourism and wildlife. Five expert guides are pitted against each other in skills such as bush driving, shooting, tracking, birding and photography.

30th June and 1st July

Steve Faulconbridge is inviting you to his special hang out at 7pm Central African Time from the Safari Guide of the Year Event which he is hosting. He will be chatting to some of the Safari Guide competitors and also the judges and will be handing out a fabulous prize for a lucky winner. You must be logged in to watch and join in.
