Be Guided by the Best

Our Guides

An authentic African safari experience is deeply rooted in the expertise, passion, and intuitive nature of the guide. We were founded in 2006 by professional local Zimbabwean guide, Beks Ndlovu. As we grew from the ground up, Beks prioritized the inherent value of our guides who continue to remain the driving force behind African Bush Camps today.

Our guides are trained, knowledgeable locals who love to share their passion and knowledge about the bush with our guests. At African Bush Camps, we ensure that you will be guided by the very best and experience Africa through local eyes – making us the home of the authentic safari.

In order to consistently cultivate skills, refresh knowledge, and ignite enthusiasm, we launched our annual Guide Training Program.

Our Annual Guides Training Program

At the start of every year since 2016, we lead ten days of rigorous guide training in Zimbabwe and Botswana. This Program is a huge undertaking; all our Experiences are closed to guests for this duration as every single one of our guide participates.

Upon arrival, guides are split into groups of six or seven, led by one of our head guides or senior professional guides. The training includes both practical and theory modules, an advanced first aid refresher course, and an advanced shooting course (to ensure our guests’ safety).

Although intensive, our Guide Training Program is fun and uplifting. Over the years, we have seen significant improvements in our guides’ knowledge, confidence, expertise, and professionalism. We are proud of their achievements and ongoing enthusiasm to learn, which ultimately benefits our guests. This is why at African Bush Camps, we can confidently say that you will Be Guided by the Best.
