Nightjar was established in 2015 when it was noticed that there was a severe lack of affordable training & advancement opportunities for the existing guide market. Particularly, the types of training which would allow staff to learn & gain qualifications on-the-job, without having to travel off-site for days, or even weeks, to conduct training and thereby hampering productivity levels for the employer. As we know, in the highly competitive world of tourism & hospitality, it is vital for game lodges to stay a step ahead of the competition to maintain their edge. One of the key aspects to achieving this is by retaining staff who have top-notch, relevant skills. For individuals, the same applies in order to ensure a long & prosperous career in the industry. Thus, Nightjar was created to provide this vital service to Game Lodges & Field Guides throughout Africa. Our main goal is to provide all inclusive & completely tailored, affordable on-site training packages with the highest standards in mind, without requiring down-time for the lodge and/or staff member. Nightjar's consultants are a unique blend of highly skilled, qualified and knowledgeable specialists in their respective fields, offering advice & training on everything from field guiding, trails guiding and rifle handling to front-of-house training & unique tailored private safaris & educational safaris throughout Africa. Nightjar is a FGASA Endorsed Specialist Training Provider with an in-house Assessor (Charles Delport). Visit www.nightjar.co.za or email info@nightjar.co.za for more information.
