Meet the team

Your guides in Etosha

Every safari has its own pace. Andris and Abi bring different guiding styles, both shaped by sharp wildlife instincts and real care for the guest experience.

Meet Andris

The Calm Observer

Calm, patient, observant

If you're looking for a relaxed, thoughtful safari, Andris is your guide. Calm, patient, and soft-spoken, he takes the time to explain the bush in a way that's easy to understand.

Nothing feels rushed, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in nature. Andris has an incredible eye for wildlife and often spots animals long before anyone else notices them.

If Andris were an animal, he'd be a giraffe: quiet, observant, graceful, and always seeing what others miss.

The Energetic Explorer

Energetic, friendly, charismatic

Abi brings excitement from the moment you meet him. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his passion for wildlife makes every safari an unforgettable adventure.

Friendly, talkative, and full of stories, he keeps guests engaged throughout the journey. Abi combines an exceptional eye for wildlife with adventurous energy that keeps everyone smiling.

If Abi were an animal, he'd be a lion: confident, charismatic, energetic, and always ready to lead the next adventure.
