Hello!

Webster is the Team Leader at DK Tours and Safaris and has worked extensively in African travel and hospitality since 1988. Over the course of nearly four decades, he has guided travellers across Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, building a career shaped not just by movement across landscapes, but by a deep and patient understanding of them.

But long before he became a guide, Webster’s relationship with the land began in Wedza, where he grew up during a time when nature was not something people travelled to admire. It was part of daily survival. The seasons dictated life. The soil fed families. The sky decided outcomes. In Wedza, nature was respected, but rarely romanticised.

It was only later, after school and while searching for opportunity across Zimbabwe, that Webster encountered the wilderness as something else entirely. His first encounter with Victoria Falls changed the direction of his life. Standing before Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Smoke That Thunders, he discovered something many guides recognise only after years in the field: that the bush is not simply a destination. It is a teacher.

Since then, Webster has spent decades guiding visitors through Africa’s wilderness areas, interpreting landscapes, reading animal behaviour, and helping guests experience safaris not as performances, but as living ecosystems shaped by time, weather, instinct, and balance.

Guiding, for Webster, has never been about sightings alone. It is about translation. Explaining the quiet language of the bush. Helping people see what happens between the obvious moments. Teaching patience, awareness, and respect for wildlife and culture alike.

In recent years, Webster has also taken up photography as another way of observing the wilderness. His photographs are not focused on spectacle or technical perfection. Instead, they capture atmosphere, timing, and the subtle interactions that often go unnoticed. Photography has become a continuation of guiding, another way of telling stories shaped by patience and perspective.

Safari Sage was created as a natural extension of this journey.

This blog is not a travel brochure or technical wildlife journal. It is a collection of reflections, lessons, and memories gathered over a lifetime spent in the bush. Through storytelling, knowledge, and photography, Webster shares the deeper rhythms of Africa, inviting readers to slow down and experience the wilderness as something more than scenery.

At its heart, Safari Sage is about connection.

Connection between people and place.
Connection between culture and wildlife.
Connection between past experience and present understanding.

Webster believes the bush reveals its greatest lessons slowly, to those willing to listen, to wait, and to return with humility.

Safari Sage is his way of sharing those lessons.
