Tyler Oosthuizen
Safari Guide and Head Ranger | Tshukudu Game Lodge
I have been a Safari Guide at Tshukudu Game Lodge for the past five years and currently serve as Head Ranger. I completed my training through EcoTraining, earning my Professional Field Guide qualification (FGASA Level 1), along with certifications in First Aid Level 1 and 2, Advanced Birding, and Tracking and Sign up to Level 3. I am also a qualified Trails Backup Guide.
My guiding approach is built on instinct, extensive field experience, and a deep understanding of the bush. Conservation lies at the heart of my work, as I believe protecting wildlife and ecosystems is essential for future generations. I am passionate about creating meaningful wildlife encounters and enjoy sharing insights that deepen guests’ appreciation of the natural world.
The leopard is my favourite animal, its elusive nature and rare sightings serve as a constant reminder of the mysteries the wilderness still holds.
