Our Story

Cameron Pearce2024

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.

What's in My Camera Bag

My Packing Philosophy

My first love is photographing wildlife, with opportunities ranging from a herd of elephants at close range to tiny birds at 100 yards. My trusty Canon RF 100-500mm lens does 99% of the work. Combined with the 1.6x crop factor of my Canon R7 mirrorless camera body, it has a lot of reach while remaining lightweight and versatile.

What Our Guests Say

Cameron was delightful, helpful, professional and friendly. His knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area was extensive, and his graceful way of sharing it with us was a pleasure.
C. Moritz
Cam was wonderful! He had a plethora of knowledge of all the local animals. We asked a lot of questions and he was able to answer them all. We also enjoyed hearing him talk about Namibia, where he now lives, and the differences in landscape and animals between the two regions. He was fun to joke with and is clearly passionate about what his does, drawing you in to want to know more.
