Johnny Ramsden was born in Maun, where his father worked as a park warden Moremi Game Reserve.  Johnny's love affair with nature began as soon as his eyes were opened. The stories by the fire side told by his siblings and people who knew his late father were the most romantic and captivating cementing his passion for nature at a tender age. He knew at a very early age that he was going to follow in his father's footsteps and work with nature.

"Since tourism has been growing in Botswana I discovered guiding and that has become my true passion as I love showing people from overseas the wonders of AFRICA.”

Thomas Perschil, one of Botswana’s top guides. Fluent in English and German, Thomas is the most sought-after guides in the country. He arrived as a volunteer through the German Development Service (GDS) some 20 years ago. After his work with GDS, he discovered where his heart and soul truly lay; with nature. Thomas has since become a Motswana (citizen of Botswana). With his German background he is invaluable, as there are not very many German-speaking guides with Thomas' easy-going character and great sense of humour.
