Andrew Beck has spent much of his life in the bush and is passionate about sharing his experiences and knowledge with others. Armed formal qualifications from the University of the Witwatersrand (MSc. & BSc. Hons in Environment, Ecology and Conservation), Tshwane University of Technology (N.Dip & B.Tech Game Ranch Management) and The Field Guides Association of South Africa (FGASA), Andrew will provide you with an experience which is not only memorable, but also educational.

During his career, Andrew has managed and worked at various five star lodges around the country. Throughout this time, his personable nature, infectious enthusiasm for the bush and his in-depth knowledge of nature has earned him a reputation amongst lodges and guests alike, with regular requests for him as a guide for guests in their subsequent visits. In addition to this “client facing” aspect of working in the bush, Andrew has also had substantial experience in reserve management, including, but not limited to: ecological services, veld management, wildlife vasectomies, rhino notching, elephant collaring, as well as lion and hyena translocation programs
