Cameron grew up in the bustle of Johannesburg but found his calling in the bush. After a formative safari at age 6, he was hooked—turning his grandmother’s sauna into a “natural history museum” and declaring his future as a guide. Today, he’s living that dream.

Named Safari Guide of the Year in 2022 by the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa, Cam earned one of the industry’s highest honors in a competition judged by top experts across eight categories. Since 2024, he’s returned to the event as a judge in the Photographic Guiding category.

A FGASA assessor, mentor and instructor since 2016, Cam holds an impressive range of qualifications: Professional Field Guide, Trails Guide, Savanna Biome Guide, Marine Guide, Culture Guide and Birding Specialist in multiple countries. He is also a certified Professional Tracker by CyberTracker in both trailing and track and sign identification.

Cam’s wildlife photography has appeared in Africa Geographic, though these days he prefers helping guests capture their own standout shots. His calm, intuitive approach demystifies cameras and animal behavior alike, helping guests experience the wild with all senses.

He and his wife Stephanie, a wildlife ecologist, live inside Moditlo Private Game Reserve near Kruger National Park, sharing their days with the wildlife that first inspired him.
