...sorry it has taken long, although it has only been about a month it feels like an eternity!! As you will see, most of the photo's are of Kurula & the boys...they were possibly my favourite subjects!! Please excuse the few spelling mistakes with regards to the word 'Photography'...need to sort that one out when not so rushed!

Handry has been with Djuma for nine years now. He began work as a gardner for the staff quarters. He has worked himself up to being a guide which our guests love. He has excelled in passing all his exams for F.A.G.A.S.A. and is great at delivering our guests a great time. He was born and grew up in Hluvukani.

Ephraim has been working with us as the guide at Galago Camp and has been with the company for around 8 years now.
Him and William are feared due to their phenomenal hit rate when it comes to finding leopard. A trait which the guests love and makes all us other guides jealous.

William has been working with us at Galago Camp for 8 years now. Following in his brother Handry's foot steps. William was born in Hluvukani, where he grew up and completed his schooling before moving into the bush. He and Ephram make a formidable team, whipping the rest of us when it comes to finding leopard.

Lots has been working at Vuyatela for going on 12 years now. He started out with general maintenance and has worked his way up to position of tracker. Lots grew up in Hluvukani wheree the best potato chips in the world come from.

Tex and I have been friends for over 15 years now. He joined Vuyatela, closed to 2 years now. Not a far move as he was with wild earth for a short time.

Amos has been working with us at Vuyatela for 11 years now. He began as the groundsman and worked his way up to the position of tracker. He grew up in Utha one of the local villages outside the reserve.
