Our Guides

Private Guides

Our private guides have years of experience and an extensive knowledge of, and passion for, the areas in which they work. These guides are able to accompany your party throughout all or part of your safari in their particular country of operation and can turn the trip into the experience of a lifetime. Having an intimate knowledge of each camp and area they are able to expose the relevant highlights, adding continuity and depth as your journey unfolds, and effectively tailor making your experience around any special interests. Many guests return year after year to be guided by a particular guide with whom they have built up a relationship on previous trips.

Pilot Guides

Perhaps the best way to travel around southern Africa is with your own pilot and plane. We have a number of guides who are qualified pilots and who will accompany you throughout the trip, allowing for seamless interpretation and unrivalled flexibility. These pilot-guides combine perfectly with the resident camp guides to ensure that not only do you benefit from years of local knowledge but also from an overall holistic interpretation that takes your entire safari into account.

Independent Specialist Guides and Hosts

While our private guides may be recognized as specialists in their own right, we also organize independent specialist and private guides for groups with very specific requirements. These interests may range from ornithology to astronomy, palaeontology, photography, botany and even anthropology. In such cases we contract independent guides - often university academics and recognized authorities - with whom we have worked before and who understand our business, camps and culture. Another aspect that can transform a group safari is the addition of a host or hostess, who will ensure the seamless running of every aspect of the safari, down to the preparation of Kosher.
