Managing Director

Martin Smith

Martin has spent many years travelling, living and working in Botswana and South Africa. After visiting Zimbabwe on Safari first in 1997 and again in 1999 he felt the call of Africa and successfully obtained his first Professional Pilots Licence in South Africa. Having heard of opportunities to indulge his passions, he travelled to Maun in Botswana to try and find employment as a Bush Pilot.

Pilot Manga

Known throughout Botswana as ‘Pilot’ due to the similarity in his name to Pilate (as in the biblical Pontius Pilate) you will be shown this beautiful country by someone who is a born and bred ‘Motswana’ (the name given to citizens of Botswana) and is a genuine local. Pilot was born in a small village, Shorobe, on the edge of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
