Our Guides

“Today, the best safari guides are highly efficient and deeply knowledgeable; they share the fruits of decades of observation and research so that their guests come to love and respect nature in the same way as they do.”— Miles Bredin, Seventy Years of Safari, 1946–2016

When you come on safari with Ker & Downey, you become part of the most experienced and trusted family in the business — a guiding lineage that dates back to the dawn of the safari era. Many grew up in rural Africa, learning bushcraft from fathers and grandfathers who were, even then, legends in the trade.
