Local and exceptional
Private Guides

Kevin was born and raised in the Southern Cape of South Africa. Nestled between vast mountains and the Indian Ocean, the small town of George was the perfect place to spark and encourage his two passions in life – the African bush and the ocean – and fall in love with adventure.

Annual family trips to the African bush inspired Kevin to become a field guide. After studying at the University of Stellenbosch, he followed his passion and started guiding in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. He was fortunate enough to guide at the world-renowned Londolozi Private Game Reserve, as well as Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, acquiring extensive knowledge and experience. Over the next 8 years, he developed and honed his guiding, hosting and people skills, sharing his love for the outdoors with travellers from all over the world.

Kevin decided to relocate to Cape Town to live closer to the ocean, his other love in life. Kevin is particularly drawn to Cape Town’s diversity and proximity to nature, no matter where you find yourself in the city. When not showcasing this beautiful city to travellers, you can find Kevin in the ocean or on one of the pristine mountain trails that surround Cape Town.

Rodger is personable and you will like him from the moment you meet him. He will add great value to your trip and all find it an absolute privilege to have him as their private guide.

Since his early years, Tim has been exploring the wild places of Southern Africa. He was always destined to be a travelling bush-man. So with a degree in Nature Conservation and a Post-grad in Education, Tim set off to work as a park ranger in Etosha, Namibia. He soon realised, however, that the guides were having way more fun – so he took the opportunity to be trained as a guide by Wilderness Safaris.

Tim’s first guiding job was in the world-famous MalaMala game reserve and since then he’s worked in the Timbavati, the Eastern Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa, and Botswana’s iconic Okavango Delta.

He’s travelled widely in Africa, Europe and North and South America, including a two-year road trip from the USA to Patagonia. He’s a hiker, surfer, bike-rider, horse-rider, diver and once-upon-a-time international sportsman – basically anything outdoors gets the nod! After 15 years of guiding in the bush, he’s returned home to Cape Town, where he loves to share the secrets of his hood with others.

Rudi is proudly South African. An early interest in wildlife, nature, and conservation would go on to shape his career in guiding. In 2005 he qualified as a Professional Field Guide, with his career taking off in the Kruger National Park.

Over the next 15 years, he has acquired extensive experience and knowledge working at some of the finest lodges in Southern Africa and enjoyed the pleasure of guiding guests at Madikwe Game Reserve, Kruger’s Manyeleti Game Reserve, – as well as at the renowned Tswalu Kalahari Reserve – to name a few.

The ongoing urge to discover and explore more of the African wilderness has led Rudi to specialise in private guiding, something that has allowed him to share his passion for adventure with a select group of clients in a more personalised, in-depth and expert manner.

A decision to move base camp to Cape Town saw Rudi fall in love with the immense diversity the city has to offer. He soon became fully qualified as a Western Cape culture guide that showcases and professionally shares the many attractions the Fair Cape has to offer with others.

A true African Lynx guide, Rudi’s love for nature combined with his knowledge, contagious enthusiasm, humour, and storytelling, is guaranteed to create an amazing experience for his guests.

Jason simply loves being a ‘Capetonian’, exploring his beautiful city from mountain to shore, together with everything in between. Food, wine, nature, and culture, he enjoys dipping his toes into a little bit of everything that Cape Town has to offer. He calls the exquisite Cape Peninsula his home, and when not hosting a memorable African Lynx experience, you will find him enjoying the local coffee and croissant culture, trail running and beach walking, together with his lovely wife and border collie.

He fancies himself as somewhat of a globetrotter, being fortunate enough to venture through much of Asia, South America, and Europe, with a couple more trips currently in the pipeline. These adventures fuelled a desire to join the hospitality industry, and he now focuses his energy with the African Lynx guiding team, striving to host the most treasured of experiences for his guests. Always warm and welcoming, and never shying away from a laugh, he’ll have you feeling like you’re a local Capetonian yourself in no time at all.

With a commercial background in real estate and being an admitted attorney of the Western Cape High Court, he still takes a keen interest in the commercial, socio-economic, and political landscape of Cape Town and South Africa. He is also an enthusiastic golfer, despite an alarming lack of success out on the course.

Morné’s life has been an odyssey of exploring the great outdoors. Growing up in the Western Cape, Morné was immediately captivated by the rhythm of the waves and has spent the last two decades surfing and sharing his love for the ocean as a surf coach. With a passport stamped by global travels, Morné has been privileged to explore the world extensively, gathering stories and experiences that have enriched his understanding of people and diverse cultures and fueled his curiosity and sense of adventure.

Morné spent seven years working within the world-renowned Stellenbosch wine industry. This deepened his appreciation for the art of winemaking and the heritage that accompanies each bottle. Interacting and engaging with customers from every corner of the world over these years inspired Morné to pursue his qualification as a guide.

As a proud African Lynx guide, Morné’s love for nature intertwines with his local knowledge, enthusiasm, humour, and the ability to weave captivating stories, making him the perfect guide and companion for your days under the South African sun.

When Morné isn’t out exploring or surfing the unlimited waves surrounding our coast, he’s perfecting his golf swing on the Cape’s picturesque golf courses.
