Meet your host | Tyler Davis

Tyler Davis is EverGreen Escapes’ lead naturalist and Escape Artist.  From the moment he first set foot in Africa at the age of thirteen, Tyler has maintained a profound passion for the continent and everything it has to offer.  Africa’s allure has drawn him back time and time again, from working as an ornithologist at a research center in central Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau to climbing through rainforests and traversing the snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro to reach the continent’s highest point. Tyler will be teaming up with local guides and naturalists from one of Namibia’s most reputable safari companies, Ultimate Safaris, to provide a highly educational and interpretive adventure.

Tyler will be joined on the Ultimate Namibia Safari November 2013 by these expert local guides

Perez Kamukuenjandje

Perez spent a number of years as a senior expedition guide at &Beyond, based in Namibia, and has now been with Ultimate Safaris for 3 years. At &Beyond he worked his way up from camp assistant, to camp captain and ultimately a senior expedition guide. Perez also spent a number of years guiding in the Namib Desert, becoming somewhat of an expert on desert ecosystems and the functioning thereof. He was formally trained at Nkwazi on the Phinda Game Reserve in South Africa and has a wealth of experience, including walking in big five territory. He was also one of the recipients of the US State Departments Millenium Challenge Account Bursaries to further his expertise in the guiding field, graduating from this as one of the top guides in his class. His experience, knowledge and infectious personality really contributes to a successful safari in Namibia, and more importantly to having fun whilst on safari.

Clement Lawrence

Clement joined Ultimate Safaris in 2010, after having spent 5 years working for the well-known safari outfit Wilderness Safaris. During his time at Wilderness Safaris Clement graduated as one of the top graduates at the Namibian Academy for Tourism and Hospitality (NATH), qualifying as a national naturalist guide and also spent time at the Wilderness Leadership School in the Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa. He has spent a number of years working at Serra Cafema on the Kunene River, Desert Rhino Camp and Little Kulala, whilst building up extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of the Skeleton Coast, Hoanib River, Twyfelfontein and Etosha National Park. Clement is a keen birder and his infectious enthusiasm for the natural environment makes him the perfect guide. Growing up in Namibia, Angola and Botswana he has extensive knowledge of southern Africa, with his favourite region being the north western region of Namibia. Clement is one of the few guides who is extremely technologically orientated and is known as a bit of a guru when it comes to the utilization of cameras, iPads, iPhones and laptops and their applications whilst on safari.
