Augustinus Gawiseb, a seasoned Namibian guide, has forged a remarkable path from his roots as a skilled tracker to becoming a pivotal member of our team at Namibia Tours & Safaris. His role as a full-time guide and fleet assistant in our Windhoek branch allows him to not only lead unforgettable safaris but also ensure the seamless operation of our vehicles and equipment. His attention to detail and deep-rooted passion for conservation make him an invaluable asset to our team, embodying the spirit of adventure and commitment to excellence that defines our company.
Growing up on a farm in northern Namibia, Augustinus developed a love of nature and the outdoors from an early age. Straight from school he trained as a tour guide with the Namibian Association of Tour Guides and he's never looked back. Over the years, Augustinus has transitioned from a local tracker to a certified guide, enriching his understanding of the intricate ecosystems and cultures that define Namibia. His dedication to sharing his expertise with visitors has made him a sought-after guide, renowned for his ability to uncover the hidden gems of the country and offer authentic insights into its natural wonders.
Of Namibia he says:
"With so much natural beauty, wildlife, culture and everything in between you should come and experience it for yourself - Namibia is a place you just can't explain."
Augie is friendly, enthusiastic and professional. And what's more his knowledge of birds, plants, wildlife, geology, history and the varied cultures of Namibia is astounding and he takes great joy in sharing this with his clients. In fact, without a hint of irony, he's proud to say he has the best job in the world getting paid to travel in the most beautiful country in the world. How's that for job satisfaction?
His love of Namibia extends to all places but Augie's special place is Etendeka:
"The location, the setting, the beauty... everything about this lodge is truly special in all its simplicity."
Our guides are exceptional human beings one and all. Their love of people, country, history, flora, fauna and a jolly good time is entirely contagious and their professionalism, expertise and trustworthiness will set your heart at ease from the moment you leave the arrivals terminal.
