Note from the Destination: Wildlife Team: We first met Marc many years ago when he was the guide for our first African safari and he quickly became a good friend.

We know few wildlife or birding guides that are better than Marc Cronje. His enthusiasm and passion for wildlife is contagious. He studies the wildlife and seems to understand their secrets. For Marc the best thing in life is sharing his wildlife world, and his considerable knowledge with his guests. He has a knack for discovering the pace you are most comfortable with and finding moments in nature that are unforgettable. A trip with Marc is a treat not to be missed.
