Junior Atlang Lubinda

We are proud to share an exciting update on Junior, our 2025 Anthony Birtles Scholarship recipient. Junior has returned after completing four weeks of Nature Guide Training at the African Guide Academy’s Kwapa Training Camp, a significant step in his guiding journey.

From Maun to Mababe and Khwai, Junior also spent time at Mababe Camp and Sango Safari Camp learning to read the bush, identify prints, and build the core skills of a confident guide. He also refined he’s hosting abilities and operational knowledge while interacting with our wonderful guests and staff

This milestone marks a period of growth, learning, and expanding opportunity. After reconnecting with the Bush Ways clan to map out his next steps, Junior is eager to put his new skills into practice. We’re incredibly proud of his progress and look forward to following his journey, perhaps even spotting him on safari or sharing his knowledge in future educational content.
