Who Is WILDTRACKERS

Wayne was born in Zimbabwe but from a very young age lived in the greater Kruger National Park in the famous reserves of the Sabi Sands and the Timbavati. Wayne’s Dad (Legendary Ranger, Pat Donaldson) has been a game ranger for most of his life. This afforded Wayne and his brothers the unique opportunity of growing up in the African wilderness.
 
After school Wayne travelled to a few countries around the world before settling in Cape Town where he studied courses in hotel management. Wayne qualified as a tour guide in 1996 and then started the business with co-founder and wife, Catherine in 1998.

During his early years of guiding Wayne continued to further his studies doing various courses in wine, nature guiding and photography. Wayne is a specialist wine guide, is a FGASA level 2 Nature Guide and is a keen photographer.

This wide but complimentary range of skills enables Wayne to offer his clients a well-rounded safari and Southern African adventure. With the many private safaris that Wayne has guided at private camps, he also honed his cooking skills around the open fire and is quite “the bush chef”.

When Wayne is not on a private safari somewhere in Southern Africa you will find him at home with his family in Cape Town, either doing private wine tours or tours up the Garden Route. When he has time to relax, you find him with fishing rod in hand or photographing his children romping on the beach.
