Unfold Africa
Vundi KashambaVundi was born in Botswana and grew up on the western side of the Okavango Delta in a small village called Etsha. His first tracking lessons when he was little were from his grandfather, who taught him how to look for a particular horse he wanted to ride by examining their tracks, which painted a picture of the unique way each horse walked. His passion for the bush was ignited quite accidentally one day when he promised a friend he would go with him to a presentation on the fauna and flora of Botswana. The first lesson was deadly boring, but luckily Vundi was a good enough friend to return for the next lesson – because it would change his life. As he entered the classroom, he saw that a video had been set up for them to watch: a documentary called ‘Wildlife Warriors’ filmed by Dereck and Beverly Joubert in Selinda, Linyanti, in the early 1990s. When the credits faded as the film ended, Vundi knew he had been changed forever, and left that classroom knowing he was committed to conservation.
“I always say that Dereck and Beverly’s documentaries have stolen my heart and hidden it in the wilderness,” he says. The trouble was, Vundi was supposed to go to teachers’ college. He decided to go on a trip into the bush “just to see”, before returning to college. Vundi studied as a guide at Okavango Wilderness Safaris Guiding School, before starting his guiding career in the Okavango Delta at Jao Camp, where he worked for nearly seven years. He then joined Kwando Safaris for four years, and later, Unchartered Africa Safaris in the Makgadikgadi salt pans. After three years in the Makgadikgadi, he returned the Okavango Delta and joined Great Plains Conservation Company as a guide. In Botswana, Vundi has guided in Premier Camps Like Jao Camp, Vumbura Camp, Kingspool and Jacks, Duba Plans Camp, Selinda Camp, Khwai River Lodge, Savute Elephant Camp and Eagle Island Camp. Classic Camps like Lagoon Camp, Lebala Camp, Kwara and Little Kwara Camps, Tau pan Lodge in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, San Camp and Camp Kalahari in the Makgadikgadi National Park. I am qualified Safari walking guide.I have more than 12000 hrs recorded on walking safaris. I know Botswana very well. SUPPORTING
Vundi Kashamba is a conservationist at heart, his plan is to help school kids all over Africa with books, pens, pencils and daily transport to school in area where students have to walk long distances back and fourth to school. Some of them they fail to get to schools at certain times of the year due to animals they encounter on their way to schools like Elephants. At the moment we have found that each andevery guest book with Unfold Africa Travel Safaris, USA$10 goes to the supporting Program for schools. This will build young African student to understand the important of conserving wildlife. They will see how much they can benefit from them. In 2019 Iexpanded my guiding carrier by guiding Kenya National Parks and Game Reserve. Guided at Ol Donyo and Masaai Mara. Currently we have established a good relationship with some of the Kenya safari operators to contact our safari there. That will give us another great room to share our supporting in schools in Kenya. Book your safari with us:
