Two safari guides crouching on a dirt path, examining animal tracks or signs during a walking safari in the bush.

ON THE BUSH WITH OUR TEAM

Your Guide and Tracker

Themba leads the guiding, with Polite and Life on the spoor — three trackers' worth of Olifants West reading between them.

Between them they have decades of tracking, the majority of it on this reserve — they know every rock, bush and tree, and have developed uncanny powers of vision and spoor deduction.

Their guiding has earned nothing but wonder and praise from our guests since they teamed up, taking it in turns to guide and track for one another.

Their knowledge of the bush is deep and authentic based on first hand experience , not just relying on study and books.

They delight in sharing their knowledge and passion with you from the smallest insect to the behaviour of the largest mammals.

You will be fascinated by their identification and explanation of trees and plants and their medical and traditional uses.

They have a repertoire of ranger stories and jokes and pour a mean gin and tonic too.

The Bush is Calling

Five tented suites, two types, and the same guiding team on the bush every drive and walk.
