Super
Sande
Born 1973
Super grew up and schooled in Sinyawe in eastern Botswana.
He
is married and has 5 children and he has built a home for his family in Gweta.
Before
Super came to Jack’s Camp he had worked at an Animal Game farm dealing with orphaned
animals in Francistown. He has also worked with animal count for Birds and Games.
Ralph
Bousfield is one of the senior shareholders of Jack Camp (the heart of the Safari
Company Uncharted Africa.) ‘Jack’s’ has a special place in Ralph’s heart for it
is where, long before the safari business was established, that his father used
to ‘hide away’ for peace and quiet in a hammock under the whispering palm trees
on the ancient lake bed. Super worked for some years with Ralph and, in time,
qualified formally as a Botswana guide and started, in 1994, his present career
as a Safari Guide, still with Uncharted Africa.
His guiding skills and experience
of tourism has taken him on travels to England and Italy where he has represented
Botswana.
Apart from being a very knowledgeable guide he has also picked up
other skills. One cannot be a safari guide in the remote corners of Botswana without
acquiring a range of other skills including, bricklaying, plumbing, and fixing
cars.
Today Super is training new guides!
“It has been a long journey,”
Super says, ”Everything I do I have to learn how to do it”
He spends his free
time at his farm in Gweta where he has goats, cows and horses and he is an inquisitive
farmer who is experimenting with crops whose seeds are not attractive to birds.
This has been very successful. The latest experiment is planting chilies in his
fields to keep the elephants out.
Super is a true believer in lifetime learning.**************************************************************************************************************************
