The Safari Guide of the year team is out in the Klaserie right now, looking for tracks to use in the track and sign assessment.

This is one of our favourite parts of the competition. Especially here in Greater Kruger, where there are so many predators moving through the area, so there could be some really tricky tracks to test them on.

And if your own track and sign skills are up there, stay tuned today because we are at the competition and we’ll be sharing some of the challenges so you can test yourself too.

A short, 5 minute exposure of the Leo Triplet with ZWOs incredible SeeStar S50. 🌌

These 3 galaxies are approximately 35 million light years away, meaning the light hitting the camera sensor left these objects when Antarctica was splitting from Australia, and the Alps were still forming in Europe. 🌍

Portable digital teleacopes are an amazing tool for outreach events, giving guests the opportunity to witness live colour images of spectacular objects that would otherwise be almost invisible to the human eye! 🔭😱

Every guide is more than an interpreter of nature, they are a custodian of it.

Professional guiding carries a responsibility to protect the landscapes, wildlife and communities that make meaningful nature experiences possible.

Ethical guiding is about making decisions that place the welfare of wildlife first. It means respecting natural behaviour, maintaining appropriate viewing distances, following best-practice guiding principles and setting a positive example for guests.

Every game drive, bush walk and wilderness experience provides an opportunity to inspire a greater appreciation for the wild places that sustain global biodiversity. Through knowledge, professionalism and ethical conduct, guides play a vital role in safeguarding the future of the environments they work within.

Conservation begins with connection, and guides play a vital role in creating that connection every day.
