Jonny Motsieloa, a guide at Mosetlha Bush Camp & Eco Lodge in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve, has been voted one of the world's top specialist guides at the Wanderlust Travel Awards.

The awards, launched by Wanderlust Magazine back in 2006, have a special category to recognise the unsung heroes of the travel world including guides and tour leaders.

Every year roughly 3000 guides are nominated by readers, who are then assessed and shortlisted.


Jonny, is now a Senior Field Guide at Mosetlha, having started work in the Reserve as a security guard in 1997.

Mosetlha is in the Big 5 malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve and is the park's only genuine eco lodge with an incredibly light footprint.

It is unfenced, rustic with 10 cabins and proudly 'off grid to ensure an authentic bush experience'.
