About Motsumi Bush Courses -
FGASA training in Pilanesberg

Motsumi Bush Courses has been a FGASA accredited training and assessment provider since 1997, based on the edge of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. Many of our ex-students now hold senior positions in lodges, safari companies and other Guide Training Facilities. What makes Motsumi different, is our personal approach. Our founder and led trainer, Bennet de Klerk, personally guides every course. Most of your training will, in fact, be done by him personally, with the occasional relief of a subject matter expert being called in for some change of scenery! This makes our excellent training product more affordable. And – very importantly – to ensure you get personal attention, we only take 8 learners per course! Motsumi has always catered for the individual who wants the best possible training, without paying a huge premium for unnecessary add-ons like air-conditioning and 5-star rooms! The Motsumi mantra is really simple:

“The only way to get to know The Bush, is to leave your footprints there”.
