Hi, I’m Rowan Poortier—a safari guide and wildlife photographer with a love for Africa’s wild spaces. I’ve spent the past few years guiding in parks and private reserves across the continent, getting to know the land, the wildlife, and the people. My photography has a large international audience, but what matters most to me is creating real, memorable experiences for the people I travel with. If you’re looking for a relaxed, personal safari with someone who knows the bush and has your back every step of the way, you’re more than welcome to join me on one of my tours.
On Instagram, I share moments from the bush that have reached millions of people around the world—something I never expected when I started posting a few photos from the field. It’s been a great way to connect with others who love wildlife and wild places. When you’re out on safari with me, the focus isn’t on likes or perfect shots—it’s about enjoying the experience, having fun with photography, and capturing whatever moments come your way.
