Head-Guide
Tebby
Tebby is our head chef. She will make sure we are all well-fed and her cooking skills make every meal fantastic. Tebby is also from a nearby village where she grew up, and she has been with us since 2023 because there was no need for a chef prior to the camp opening. However, she visited here a few times before because her and Thato are a couple who also have a child together. The kid lives with the family while they are both at work in the bush.
Chef
Peter
Peter is the youngest in the group and always there whenever one needs assistance. He is a hard worker and has been with us since 2021. Therefore he has been a big part of the building progress as well. He is also from the small village nearby and grew up in the area.
