The Craftsmen
Our expert guides are the craftsmen behind each and every unique itinerary. Having travelled the world extensively, their knowledge and passion is the secret ingredient that makes traveling with Safari Craftsmen a once in a life-time experience.
Chris Renshaw
After being in the Safari and Conservation industry for 17 years, Chris felt that there was something missing… the opportunity to make a difference! This was where the Conserv concept was born and the next adventure began. “For a while now, I have felt that I have not been doing enough for the future of conservation and responsible tourism. I feel there is a great need for the young leaders of tomorrow, from all walks of life, to be shown that you can indeed make a difference. With the right guidance and exposure to Africa, guests of all ages who are seeking a purposeful impact can assist in keeping wild places wild, uplift communities and support the right players in African tourism. Along with some key partners in the conservation and tourism sector, I believe this is possible”. Chris is an award winning and published wildlife photographer. He has appeared in a number of documentaries on the Discovery and Nat Geo wild channels and holds a MSc degree in Zoology.
Dan Fincham
Daniel was born in Zimbabwe and discovered a passion for wildlife and the great African bushveld at a young age. With the incredible privilege of working at some of South Africa’s top safari lodges for 13 years, he now resides in Chicago with his wife, ready for his next adventure. Daniel is eager to extend his enthusiasm and expertise to even more people and foster a deeper appreciation for Africa’s wonders. “I believe there’s no better feeling than setting foot on the African continent. I hope to inspire people to explore all corners of Africa, contributing to the conservation of these incredible wildlife sanctuaries and the deeply interconnected development of surrounding communities.” Aside from his extensive guiding experience, Daniel is a passionate photography guide with his work published in the Daily Mail. His dedication extends beyond capturing moments, aiming to showcase the beauty of Africa while advocating for the preservation of its wildlife and purposeful community impact.
