The Guiding Team each have between 5 and 15 years experience across East and Southern Africa, all boasting both domestic and international qualifications including FGSA Level 3 and internationally recognized Wildlife and Conservation Management Diplomas. Elewana is particularily proud to have a strong contingent of Tanzanian guides, some of whom have previously worked within the Tanzania National Parks Authority and The Tanzania Wildlife Department as Head Rangers and Senior Wardens.
