Guides
“The purpose in life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.”
That can be quite a daunting prospect and that is exactly where our team of hand picked, experienced guides come in. From the moment you start planning your private safari until you say goodbye your private guide will be there every step of the way, so you don’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying your experience.
The Wild Eye ethos has always revolved around the enjoyment of the safari experience and when you mix this with a relaxed professionalism and true passion for nature you can be assured of an incredible and fun adventure with more than a few laughs. Every one of the Wild Eye private guides have spent time working at 5-star lodges throughout Southern Africa and they understand the importance of collaborating with the local guide and lodge staff in order to create your perfect safari.
