A high-calibre safari team

Trained to deliver exceptional guided experiences

How we select and develop natural talent

Sabi Sabi has one of the most highly regarded safari teams in the region. We attribute this success to our stringent recruitment process coupled with our rigorous in-house guide-training programme at the legendary Nkombe Camp. Here, candidates are put through their paces and learn about the fauna and flora of the reserve, reading tracks, navigating the reserve, among many other skills.

The company’s affiliation to the Field Guides Association of South Africa (FGASA) ensures that guides gain technical knowledge and practical experience and have the opportunity to specialise in niche interest areas like birding etc. All Sabi Sabi guides also receive ongoing training – such as rifle handling – to ensure that their skills are always up to date.

Form personal bonds and connections that last

One of nature’s many unexpected gifts

There is something about being in the African bush that promotes a sense of self-reflection and a deeper understanding of the world that we live in.
It is a revelatory experience that often leads to a wonderful bonding experience with your guide where you not only have the opportunity to learn about all things nature from your guide, but also get to learn about one another’s cultures, thoughts and outlook on life as you spend time exploring the bush together.

This powerful sense of connection sees guests remaining in contact with their guide for years to come – with many returning to the same guide time and again.

Choose how you want to explore nature’s many gifts

Be it a game drive, going on a birding safari, or exploring the bush on foot – there are so many ways in which to appreciate Africa’s untamed wildlife
