Amy Krantz

Amy brings warmth, clarity and enthusiasm to every safari she leads. Not only does she hold years of experience in the field but also has a strong foundation in hospitality which is clear in her exceptional eye for detail and ensuring that her guests are always taken care of.

Trained through andBeyond's Inkwazi Ranger Programme and FGASA, she also holds qualifications in wilderness first aid, rifle competency and advanced 4×4 driving. Her specialist interests include birding, photography, interpretative guiding and storytelling — all grounded in a thoughtful, guest-focused approach.

Amy joined WildEarth in 2023, drawn by the opportunity to connect people across the world to Africa's wild places. Whether on the vehicle or through the screen, she sees guiding as a privilege and approaches each safari with curiosity and joy. Her most memorable WildEarth moment? Discovering two incredibly rare aardwolf cubs in a den at Mabula!

With a background in both marketing and accounting, Amy's journey into the bush may not be conventional but it reflects her belief that the best work is work you love. Her guiding style is gentle and considered — she lets nature lead, offering insight and perspective without ever taking away from the scene unfolding. For her, a safari is about more than sightings; it's about slowing down, tuning in, and leaving with a deeper sense of connection.

Guests often remember her for her infectious giggle, ever-present smile and genuine love for even the smallest moments. Her favourite animal is the baby rhino — wide-eyed, curious and impossible not to love. And though her path to the wild was not linear, it's clear she's exactly where she's meant to be.
