Safari Guiding

“A guide's life's work is a continuous weaving of the web between people and nature.”

Ecotourism gives an economic value to our wildlife areas. This helps them compete with more lucrative land use models such as mining and agriculture. Adam has dedicated his career to ensuring people continue to visit Africa’s safari destinations and in doing so, protect them for the future.
