Having guided for 3 years as a german guide at Sunway Safaris I (Dirk) moved into the office and started in the marketing department which meant no more touring. When I heard I was going to go on an agent’s trip to Botswana the excitement set in. I was going to host 4 agents from Europe on what we call a Fam trip. I flew to Maun and met up with Johnny and Charlotte our Botswana managers at Planet Okavango and did the shopping that needed to be done for the next 4 days.

Charlie a new guide who has just started at Sunway jusy returned from his first tour being the Zimbabwe Botswana Game Tracker ZBa16 and has this very interesting blog to share with you... “The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences.” At the start of our trip couldn’t begin to imagine how true these words spoken by Christopher McCandless would end up being! Even though I knew everything would be new, in my wildest dreams I couldn’t expect something of the magnitude of what came.

Zandre one of our newer guides just completed a South Africa Rainbow Route SAa17 with Cronje and hiked up Table mountain in Cape Town at the end of the tour. He had the following to say: Table Mountain the majestic mountain that towers over the city of Cape Town, exuding a powerful but inviting presence that can be seen from up to 40km out at see. It is a flat top mountain that every once in a while has its table cloth laid meaning you can not go up..

One of the most asked question you get on a Game Drive are: What will we see on the Game drive? Carina has this answer: There is a possibility to see the following: naming all the animals that are in the park and telling the group that they have to remember that the animals are wild and that we can’t promise anything, game viewing is like gambling sometimes you win sometimes you lose.
