He holds a Learner Professional Guide/Hunter’s licence, a Certificate in Tourism, Leisure and Hospitality Management, an Executive Diploma in Business Leadership, and an Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Development studies.

He did tour-leading in Southern Africa and has vast knowledge of neighbouring countries and its flora, fauna and its people. He has been involved with community work for the various organizations he has worked for which inspired him to become a development practitioner. He aspires to become a Professional Guide by the end of this year 2022.
Most of our scouts come from nearby communities, have grown up in the Hwange area and are committed to working hard to protect their heritage for future generations.
Being an anti-poaching scout is extremely physically demanding - the men walk many kilometres each day, often in harsh weather conditions and through dense bush on thick, sandy soils with heavy packs on their backs.
OUR
PARTNERS.
We work closely with Zimbabwe Parks & Wildlife Management Authority and Zimbabwe Forestry Commission who provide us with vital assistance in our work protecting local flora & fauna.
