``Sharing the wonders of nature with people is what I love most, and I can't imagine a better way of life.”

My name is Dawie Jacobs, and I’m a happy-go-lucky, positive person who finds joy in capturing natural moments with camera in hand.

Nature has always been my passion, and I’ve spent most of my life in the bush. Sharing the wonders of nature with people is what I love most, and I can’t imagine a better way of life. My home will always be the Sabi Sands game reserve, a place close to my heart. It’s a haven for wildlife and offers endless opportunities for breathtaking photography.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work is witnessing the awe and wonder on guests’ faces when they experience something spectacular for the first time. Whether it’s a breathtaking sunset or an up-close encounter with a majestic animal, those moments create lifelong memories.

Outside the world of photography, there are a few things I hold dear. Biltong, country music, a good cup of coffee and sunsets are a few of my favorite things.

For me, travel is a way of experiencing the world in different ways, with different people. It’s a constant source of inspiration and a means of personal growth. The thrill of discovering new landscapes, encountering diverse cultures, and connecting with fellow adventurers fuels my wanderlust.

What sets Tusk apart from other companies is our unwavering commitment to doing things differently. We don’t settle for ordinary. With a passion for creating unique and transformative experiences, we strive to exceed expectations and leave a lasting impact on every safari journey we undertake.
