Fascinated by natural history in his formative years, professional guide Lawrence Weitz feels incredibly privileged to have had the opportunity to be introduced to Southern Africa’s wilderness areas at an early age, a time when the safari experience was rugged and for the intrepid. More recently, Lawrence has expanded his guiding horizons in pursuit of experiencing the afromontane forests of East Africa, rainforests and spiny forests in Madagascar, Brazil’s incomparable Pantanal, India’s Himalayan alpine steppes, deciduous forests of Madhya Pradesh and rainforests in South East Asia. Lawrence credits this thrill as the catalyst that has ultimately led him in pursuit of wildlife tourism excellence and the establishment of ‘Privately Guided’.
