⭐️MEET OUR HORSE SAFARI GUIDES⭐️

🐴 DAVID : Director & owner of Ride Botswana. With over 38 years of experience under his belt David is at ease as a safari guide. When guided by David he will ensure that you are immersed in Africa and with his passion for the wilderness, it’s wildlife and birdlife he will bring the bush alive and inspire you with a lifetime of adventures.

David guides most of our Okavango Delta Mobile Rides.

🐴 LESH : With his love and deep rooted knowledge of the Kalahari, Lesh is one of our main guides in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.

He is usually based out at Camp Kalahari and guides most if not all of our rides out there. Lesh is a great horseman and fantastic safari guide!

🐴 THEBSA : with his strong love for horses, Thebsa takes care of our herd at Cha Cha Metsi Camp as our Barn Manage. He also rides as a back up guide on most if not all of our rides out in the Delta, ensuring that all questions are answered at the back of the ride!

Thebsa is super knowledgeable and takes great care of our four legged family!

🐴 KB : After pursuing another path for a few years, KB is back! KB worked with us way back in 2010 - 2013 when Ride Botswana was just starting up. He then followed another path for a few years but has returned and is now our main guide in the Okavango, based at Cha Cha Metsi Camp.

He has many years of experience in the field. It is great to have him back!

🐴 WISEMAN : another one of our fantastic Kalahari safari guides! Wiseman is based out at Camp Kalahari along with Lesh. Wiseman also leads all of our rides out in the Salt Pans.

Wiseman joined us in 2019 and has been an integral part of the team since!

🐴 RONALD : Ronald has recently become one of our horse safari guides and leads a lot of our trips in the Delta as well as riding back up on some. He has a strong passion for the bush and is a valuable member of the team!

All of them are here and ready to take you on safari! 🦒🐘🐆🦁🦓🦛

Some snippets from a recent Delta safari, taken by one of our lovely guests Jen Stephenson who also left some wonderful feedback about her safari with us:

“I’ve never come back home feeling so motivated and inspired after a holiday before, you really have the magic recipe in your camps!” 💛💛💛

Thank you for the beautiful snaps Jen, you really have captured the magic that the Okavango Delta has with its palm islands and dancing golden light (and not to mention capturing our magical team in action who do a fantastic job behind the scenes 🌟)
