Your Guides


The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Baba N.

Baba N.

Baba grew up in a village called Gumare, on the panhandle of the Okavango Delta. Every morning, he would rise to the wakeup calls of hippos in the lagoon and spend the afternoons listening to the melodious calls of the birds. Sharing his home and heritage is his passion and he has spent the past 11 years guiding in Chobe National Park and Moremi Game Reserve. Baba is looking forward to hosting you on a truly epic wildlife experience whether it's witnessing 1,000 buffalos drinking at Jessie's Pool or a lion on an elephant hunt.

Keitumetse M.

Keitumetse M.

KT was born in a small village called Mogotho, close to Seronga. He spent much of his childhood roaming around with his cattle in the bush and tracking through the Okavango Delta. It was here that KT learned his love of guiding and he has spent the past 12 years taking his guests on walking safaris through the bush, much like he did as a child. KT is excited to share a different perspective of wildlife while on foot, from the big game of buffalo, lions and elephants to the often missed insect and amphibian world.

Isaac M.

Isaac M.

Having grown up in a small village called Sebina, Isaac's passion for wildlife dates back to his early school days when his nature club took a trip to Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park. He has spent the past 11 years guiding in Leroo La Tau and Savute, where he developed a love for geology and photography - two hobbies that help capture the rich history of the Delta area.
