I want to become a professional hunting guide in Africa, but can’t find a starting point (job, school, etc.).

I have a great deal of hunting experience, have contacted several safari companies, but have yet to receive a reply.
Here’s a really good idea, try being a hunting guide in areas you know! If I owned a safari hunting company in africa I wouldn’t hire some guy from the states who’s never even seen the lay of the land. Maybe move to africa, get acclimated to the surrounding hunting and game areas( maybe 10 to 15 years) then apply as a hunting guide.
Step 1. Move to Arfrica
Step 2. Get hired, start at the bottom.

Kinda hard I would think for a non local? Good question, and a good job if you can get it. Beats mine. Try contacts at some of the established guides & Game parks. See if they will take on a assistant or intern. Once you have some time in, you can go out on your on. Nobody is going to hire a guide who looks like he’s fresh from Jersey.

Common sense tells me no one will hire you as a hunting guide if you have no idea about the lay of the land.
