NIC POTGIETER

Hello, I'm Nic. My passion for nature began at a young age through a fascination with reptiles and amphibians, which soon grew into a lifelong love for all wildlife. In 2014, I qualified as both a Trails Guide and Marine Guide, turning my passion into a rewarding career. Since then, I have guided in some of South Africa's most iconic wilderness areas, including Hluhluwe Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park. Today, I proudly call Manyeleti Game Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem, home.

I enjoy sharing the incredible diversity of the African bush with guests, from unforgettable wildlife encounters to the fascinating behaviours and relationships that exist within nature. Every safari offers a unique opportunity to learn, explore, and appreciate the wilderness. I look forward to welcoming you on safari and sharing the remarkable beauty, stories, and unforgettable experiences that make the African bush so special.

ANDRIES MATHEBULA

Hello, I'm Andries. My love for the African bush began in childhood through a fascination with animal tracks and the stories they reveal. In 1987, I started my career as a tracker at Tanda Tula, where I developed the skills and knowledge that have shaped my life in the wilderness.

In 2009, I qualified as both a Field Guide and Walking Trails Guide, allowing me to share my passion and experience with guests from around the world. Tracking is about far more than following footprints. It's about understanding animal behaviour, reading the signs of nature, and uncovering the hidden stories of the bush. Every safari brings a new adventure and a chance to experience wildlife from a unique perspective. I look forward to sharing my world of tracking with you and creating an unforgettable safari filled with discovery, adventure, and a deeper connection to Africa's wilderness.

DERRICK CHAUKE

Hello, I'm Derrick. My safari career began in 1999 as a tracker at Londolozi, where I discovered a deep passion for Africa's wildlife and wilderness. In 2000, I qualified as a Trails Guide and have since enjoyed sharing unforgettable bush experiences with guests. Birds have always been my greatest passion. Their incredible diversity, unique behaviours, beautiful colours, and distinctive calls continue to inspire me every day. I enjoy helping guests appreciate the rich birdlife of the African bush while exploring the remarkable ecosystems they call home.

Whether we're tracking wildlife, spotting birds, or simply enjoying the sights and sounds of nature, every safari offers something extraordinary. I look forward to welcoming you into the bush and sharing my knowledge, passion, and love for Africa's wildlife. Together, we'll create lasting memories and experience the magic of the wilderness.

LENNOX MATHEBULA

Hi, I'm Lennox! My passion is sharing the beauty of nature, wildlife, and Africa's rich cultures while making every safari both enjoyable and educational. I began my guiding career in 2005 as a qualified Trails Guide at Bongani Mountain Lodge and have loved every moment of introducing guests to the wonders of the African bush. Over the years, I have built a career around education, conservation, and creating meaningful experiences that inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world. I believe every safari is an opportunity to learn something new, whether it's tracking wildlife, understanding animal behaviour, or discovering local traditions.

I enjoy creating memorable experiences filled with laughter, stories, and unforgettable wildlife encounters. I look forward to welcoming you on safari and sharing my passion for the African bush. Together, we'll create lasting memories and discover why this remarkable wilderness continues to inspire me every single day.
