The story
A life shaped by wild country.
Gareth was born in Jwaneng, Botswana, in 1991 and joined his father on early trips into the Kalahari. His Zimbabwean family returned home when he was five, and a childhood of camping, fishing and hunting helped define his future.
At 17 he began his apprenticeship with Roger Whittall Safaris in the Save Valley Conservancy, while also helping establish camps in the Zambezi Valley and northern Mozambique. He gained broad experience with big game and qualified for his full licence in 2012.
Gareth has since hunted in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Uganda and Gabon. He values CM Safaris’ investment in well-run camps, anti-poaching, road networks and community projects as deeply as the hunting itself.
