Ankwa's Safari Directors accompany every safari from touchdown to takeoff. These seasoned professionals, with an average of ten years in the bush, work exclusively for Ankwa. Each has earned the prestigious gold or silver-level certification from the Kenya Professional Guides Association. Beyond guiding game-viewing excursions into the wilderness, our Safari Directors offer informal lectures on local flora and fauna, expertly manage logistics, and share captivating insights into African history and tribal folklore. Africa is their homeland, and when visiting a village or touring a town, our Safari Directors are greeted like old friends, with guests welcomed as friends of a friend in the enduring African tradition. Ankwa’s Southern African Safari Directors uphold the same high standards as our East African team. (Wildlife explorations are led by another group of experts—our highly trained Game Rangers and Trackers stationed at each camp and lodge.) Safari Directors possess extensive knowledge of the region’s natural and cultural history, local art, current affairs, and the vibrant culinary and winery scenes. But the true gift of Ankwa's Safari Directors is their ability to make luxury travel effortless and stress-free, ensuring an exceptional and seamless experience for all our guests.
