About

Meet Doug

Born in Zimbabwe into a family of adventurers with deep roots in Africa, Doug MacDonald has spent more than 30 years guiding guests across the continent, from the celebrated wildlife areas of Botswana, Tanzania and his beloved Zimbabwe to some of Africa's most remote wild places. His introduction to the safari industry began in Hwange National Park in 1989, and he has never looked back.

Doug is one of a handful of guides with truly intimate knowledge of Zakouma National Park in Chad, and it is here that his passion and expertise shine brightest. His guiding philosophy is simple: get guests off the vehicle, into the bush and genuinely connected to the wild world around them.
