Meet the Team
Kathyrn Haylett

I knew from an early age which direction I wanted to take in life and now I am living my dream guiding fellow wildlife enthusiasts around my beloved Africa.
Having studied in South Africa I founded Your Safari in 2002 offering travellers the opportunity to enjoy African wildlife at their own pace, in their own company and on their own itinerary.
As chief guide I also spend several months a year leading private safaris for family groups, friends travelling together or photographers and am never happier than when we are sitting at a waterhole in Etosha watching the drama unfold all around us and I can share the experience with my guests.
I truly have the best job in the world – to be able to spend time in the bush watching wildlife with like minded people, well away from the hustle and bustle of modern living – well, that’s not really working is it?
Dr Richard Despard Estes PhD

For those of us in the safari industry Dr Estes needs no introduction. He is a behavioural ecologist and conservationist and is the world’s leading exponent on African Mammal Behaviour.
Author on 2 major books on the subject, “The Safari Companion” and “The Behaviour Guide to African Mammals” In 2011 we were privileged in running training courses with him in Etosha which were a great success and plan to follow these up with additional courses and guided safaris in 2012/2013.
Karl Andre Terblanche

Karl is an internationally recognised photographer and has images published in the National Geographic, The Observer (UK) The Figaro ( France) among others. Karl currently divides his time tending various photographic projects and running photography courses and workshops in Namibia.
Tommy Collard

Tommy has been involved in conservation, tourism and herpetology all his life and is widely considered to be one of Namibia’s leading experts on desert wildlife.
A day out with him into the coastal dunes around Swakopmund is a must for our guests and photographers are given the rare opportunity to take close ups of some of the Namib’s rarer inhabitants including the side winding Peringuey’s Adder, the opaque Palmato Gecko and the endemic Namaqua Chameleon.
Francois Visser

Francois and his wife Cathy run Levo Tours in Walvis Bay and their seal and dolphin tour is always a firm favourite with Your Safari guests. Francois and his team take you out into the ocean to show you some of Namibia’s diverse marine life giving you the opportunity for close encounters with dolphins, pelicans, whales and cape fur seals.
