Quite simply our guides are what distinguish us from the others. We are proud to boast some of Africa’s most experienced and leading guides. Our guides all have over fifteen years experience which is a comforting thought when you put yourself into the hands of someone else in a strange and challenging environment.

Frank Chikosi

Is a one of the rare versatile guides who is registered as a professional guide both in Botswana and Zimbabwe, but has also led safaris to Zambia and Namibia. He is a charismatic, gentle soul who leads many of our mobile safaris and has gained a reputation among people who have traveled with him as a caring, charming person, who always puts his family and guests first and as such gets many repeat clients. He has recently also turned his hand to writing articles for travel magazines.

Leonard Kasale

Leonard has been working in the safari world for 15  years and has a very in-depth knowledge of Botswana’s flora and fauna. He grew up in Kasane and has therefore been around the bush for all of his life. He is a specialist in guiding in Chobe and Savute although his travels have also taken him further afield. A charming yet retiring and respectful character Leonard takes great pleasure in sharing what Botswana has to offer with our guests and can be justifiably proud of the number of clients who request him as a guide and host when they return to Botswana.

Godfrey Mbeha

Godfrey’s experience and enthusiasm for the bush is legendary. As well as having guided for 20 years he also worked in the Department of Wildlife and National Parks for 5 years and loves being out in the far-flung parts of Botswana. A well-spoken and jovial character, he has a detailed knowledge of bush mechanics and a love and understanding of the Botswana’s flora and fauna that is second to none. A safari with Godfrey is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

 

 

“Frank is a fine person and guide.  We appreciated not just his guiding services but also how he just opened our eyes to all aspects to the bush.  It is not about just the big five but about birds, mammals, the people, the climates, the flora, trees, sunrises, sunsets, the camaraderie, and everything else.

It is this passion that has driven me to three trips so far to the African continent and will drive me to return to Botswana.”

Freelance Guides

For various reasons it is not always possible for safari companies to use their in-house guides for every safari. Because of our many years of first–hand experience in the industry, SGS Africa is able to draw upon a pool of the finest and most experienced associated professional guides in the region. Should you have any specific guide in mind please let us know and we will happily incorporate them into your itinerary.
