Young adults from Botswana can apply to the Knyphausen Foundation for a scholarship that enables them to train as professional safari guides.
Safari tourism is the country's second most important source of economic income and a secure professional field. In contrast to other countries in the region, the Botswana government sets high quality standards here; the profession as safari guide enjoys a high reputation.

The scholarship is awarded in the form of a loan, which is partly repaid to the Foundation without interest as soon as the scholarship holders are financially independent. This preserves the pride of the scholarship holders and also enables future scholarship holders to support their education.
Grace Seidisa is the first recipient of a one-year scholarship.
