He’s the champion when it comes to storming the office in the morning: Paco, the entertainer, captured our hearts in no time! Our office dog – a staff member we wouldn’t want to miss.

Chrissy is a passionate geographer and knows all about the interconnection of mankind, nature and environment. Within and outside her geography studies she was able to gain lots of international experience and therefore provides professional consulting services for our customers. In addition, she supports Natucate’s marketing activities with creative and innovative ideas. As an enthusiastic outdoor lover, she spends most of her free time in nature – along with her dog Paco. Her cordialness as well as her communication and organizational skills make her an invaluable team member.

Growing up on a farm in Zimbabwe, Africa flows deep in Terry's heart. Starting her conservation career as a Field Guide, she had the pleasure of educating people from around the globe about our majestic Mother nature and all her Wildlife. During her Guide career, Terry worked in incredible places, from Zululand in the South to up North in the Waterberg region. She sidestepped away from guiding after 18 years and took up the responsibility of Lodge manager in various lodges around South Africa. Her passion for making a difference in conservation grows daily, and she knows we can change the world together! She is honoured to now assist people with life-changing opportunities in conservation.

Meg has always felt deeply connected to nature, having grown up closely intertwined with it. Her passion for conservation and her ability to bring people and the natural world together eventually led her to guiding.

In her daily work, she creates meaningful experiences that inspire others to appreciate nature and care for our planet. With her curiosity and positive spirit, she is a true asset to the team and to everyone who has the pleasure of exploring with her.

Born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and primarily raised in Cape Town, Wes devoted his formative years to these locales before embarking on a transformative journey to Nelspruit at the age of 21. It was there that he ignited his career in conservation with EcoTraining. Before this pivotal move, Wes pursued an education in IT, and now, at Natucate, he spearheads our software initiatives and manages an array of dynamic projects.

On a personal level, Wes nurtures a profound connection with nature, often seeking solace and refuge from the hectic pace of modern life during tranquil wilderness walks. For him, the pristine expanse of true wilderness serves as a powerful catalyst for personal development and self-growth, making it a cherished sanctuary for introspection and rejuvenation. He is a great addition to our team, especially with his open and humorous nature as well as his enormous expertise in the South African bush.
