Africa Trip Leader

Daniel Sechi

Daniel was born in Lobatse, Southern Botswana, and as a youth, heard many stores about the bush from his father, a well-respected tracker. His first introduction to the wilds of Botswana began when he joined a wildlife club in primary school, and he finished high school in the Ghanzi district, right next to the Khutsi/Central Kalahari game reserve. After finishing school, Daniel applied for a position at the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks and was immediately given a post as a game ranger in Chobe National Park where he worked from 1999 to 2005. He also worked in the anti-poaching unit during his time there. Daniel earned his Professional Guide License in 2008 and started guiding at a lodge in the Northern Okavango, but quickly moved on to the more demanding but rewarding mobile safari sector. His passion is the bush but his love is for family—he is a father of four and also cares for his sister's children.

What an amazing man! He is just passionate about his country. Big smile, funny, smart, and generous with his knowledge and time! I loved to watch him stare at the road to find the latest animal tracks.

Daniel became a friend during this trip and his honesty, openness, frienliness, sweetness, and kindness are everything you'd want in a best friend, let alone in a guide. He's smart, sensitive, caring, knowledgeable, and worked so well with each of us. We loved him!
