01 · The team

Your guide makes or breaks a safari more than any camp, vehicle or itinerary decision you will make.

A good guide is not simply someone who can find animals. It is someone who knows when to stay and when to move, who can read what a herd is about to do, who notices the small things you would drive past, and who can tell when you have had enough for one morning.

Names, photographs, languages spoken and years of experience for each guide are To confirm and will be published here individually — not as a generic group photograph.

03 · How we work with guides

What we commit to

01

Employment, not per-trip hire

Guides are on the payroll. It is the difference between someone invested in your week and someone between jobs.

02

One guide for your whole trip

On a private safari the intention is the same guide throughout, so that by day three they know what you actually care about.

03

Continuing training

Guiding qualifications in Tanzania are formal and examined. Which certifications our team holds is To confirm.

04

Fair pay, and a word about tipping

Tips are customary and genuinely appreciated, and they are not a substitute for a wage. We pay a wage.
