  • Having your office in the middle of the African wild surrounded by all your favourite animals sounds like a dream job right? Well we're here to help, take a closer look at what it takes to become a bus-living safari guide!

    I'm currently pursuing a degree program at a university in Kenya but honestly I'm ready to quit it to pursue my dream of being a safari guide.
    I surely don't know why I chose to study Biochemistry in the first place but the truth is I've seriously lost interest in it since laboratory environment is my worst nightmare. I love interacting with nature and people as well, as I get the energy and experience to deal with the personality I have. I'd like to care for the animals too. I hope one day I will get to where I want.

      You'll probably see him tomorrow. A couple of days ago James said that Steve was due back in the Mara on 7th Nov.

      @@wellowwanderer7619 I heard that also. Will be great to have steve back. Tristan just went on leave and will be back in Djuma Jan.2, with a brief 2 wk. visit to the Mara first. I haven't heard anything about David tho? Maybe he's coming back to Djuma. (Hopefully)

    • @wellowwanderer7619
      @wellowwanderer7619 Před 5 lety +1

      David will be back in the Mara on 14th November according to James. I don't think we'll see him in Djuma very often because his wife and children are in Kenya.

      Well, it's 12/16 and he hasn't been seen, unless I've missed any episodes.

      @wellowwanderer7619 Před 5 lety +2

      Steve? He's been back in the Mara since this video was posted, then went on leave again and I think is due back in the next day or so, either the 17th or 18th December.

    Wished this had been a career path for me in the 1970's when I was young. I would have loved it! But I've learned so much from watching SafariLive so a big THANK-YOU for that.

    This would have been my career years ago had I known about it. Now I go on my own safaris and photograph wildlife all over the place. My vacation and travel plans are always around viewing wildlife refuges and seeing wildflowers.

    I wish guiding was as marketable a skill here in North America as it is in Africa. I'm living the dream through safariLIVE, though! Thanks Stevovo!

    • @lycaonpictus9662
      @lycaonpictus9662 Před 5 lety +2

      There is the National Park Service, though it's a bit different I suppose in that a park ranger at a place like Yellowstone is also law enforcement in addition to educating the public about the wildlife.

    • @melissamcqueen582
      @melissamcqueen582 Před 5 lety +2

      Yes. I wanted to be a ranger (especially in Yosemite) when I was little, but I don't really like the way employment is structured in the NPS and it doesn't suit my personality. Being able to guide in the private sector just seems so awesome!

    How ridiculous would it be for someone from the Midwest in the US to actually move to SA to train to be a guide? I’ve been to Africa twice, SA only once and have never felt so content as I have when I was out there.

  • @ageishyena3035
    @ageishyena3035 Před 5 lety +1

    Sounds extensive. I don't think I'd have the attention span for learning it all. Plus, ellies, birds and plants put me to sleep out of boredom, so I wouldn't be a very good guide. Heh. Maybe sometime he can show us his "papers" showing us his accolades and the like :)

    All of the great safari guides we had over the years are gone. Everything has changed. These shows aren't fun any more.
