Our Guides
The people who turn a good safari into a great one.
Local Knowledge
Guided By People Who Know The Land
A good guide reads tracks, weather and animal behaviour, and turns what you see into a story. In Botswana and Zimbabwe, safari guiding is a trained profession built on years in the bush.
At the camps we work with, you will usually spend your stay with the same guide, so they get to know what you most want to see.
What A Guide Brings
More Than Spotting Animals
Tracking And Reading Signs
Footprints, alarm calls and the mood of the bush tell a guide where to go and what to expect.
Natural History And Stories
From the smallest insect to the largest elephant, a guide helps you understand what you are seeing.
Safety And Calm
Knowing how to place a vehicle, read an animal and keep everyone relaxed is a core part of the job.
In The Field
Drives, Walks And Boat Trips
Depending on the camp and area, your guide may lead game drives, bush walks or boat trips. We will tell you what is possible where you are staying, so you can choose the activities that suit you.
