YOUR GUIDES

Be Guided by the Best
At African Bush Camps, we believe that an exceptional safari requires an exceptional guide.

Our guides are responsible for ensuring your safety and enjoyment while providing in-depth knowledge about the local wildlife and ecosystems, including the animals, plants, and geography of the area. They have expertise in tracking, understanding animal behaviour, and identifying various species of flora and fauna. Being locals themselves, our guides are custodians of the land, community, and culture, sharing unique insights and enhancing your overall safari experience.

As we grew from the ground up, our Founder Beks prioritized the inherent value of exceptional guiding and it is our guides who continue to remain the driving force behind African Bush Camps today. We guarantee that you will be guided by the very best, experiencing Africa through the eyes of its people – making us the home of the authentic safari experience.

OUR FOUNDATION

Locally Driven and Informed

African Bush Camps promotes and influences African safari travel on a global scale, all while focusing on conscious and impactful experiences.

The African Bush Camps Foundation is a non-profit organization that has been working alongside African Bush Camps since 2006. The Foundation operates in the areas where African Bush Camps resides, and proactively partners with local communities and other organizations to support critical community empowerment, education, and conservation projects. In doing so, the Foundation facilitates human-wildlife coexistence and the protection of species and landscapes.

Our collective Purpose is to Share and Conserve Africa, Together. We believe this mission most accurately reflects the symbiotic relationship among Conservation, Communities, and Sustainability. Our model of positive impact is therefore based on these three intertwined and mutually supportive focus areas.

How ABC supports its own Foundation

Our Safari offering funds the operational costs of our Foundation so each safari booking, and each donation goes directly to the project it is intended for. Ultimately, our vision is to deepen our impact, not expand our footprint.
