  Head Nature Guide

  Nestled on the pristine Brandwacht Game Reserve, Garden Route Safari Camp is a small boutique lodge where I have the privilege of guiding guests through its breathtaking biodiversity and beauty. My role spans reserve management, camp operations, guiding, and training our on-site guiding team to navigate and interpret our unique Western Cape setting.

Additionally, I manage reforestation and tree-planting projects, contributing to the rewilding story of the reserve, which aims to restore the lost wilderness of the area. عرض أقل
