Growing up on a farm deep in the isolated areas of the Northern Cape, Mariaan developed a deep love for nature from a young age. She is a very caring person, not only for nature, but for people as well. She has more than 8 years of experience in ornithology consulting, in which she has developed a vast knowledge not only with birds, but also plants, invertebrates and animals. She is also a trained animal first aider. Mariaan's goal in life is to lecture her employees and fellow citizens to be sustainable and caring of mother nature.

The leader of the pack. With experience of more than fifteen years in conservation, ornithology and environmental consulting, Jacob is passionate and his knowledge of nature and working with people is vast. He is excellent with managing our rich African variety of cultures. Jacob has a straightforward approach in his working environment. He is a registered guide, and also has experience in the fight against poaching from being stationed as one of the Team Leaders for Advanced Anti-Poaching at SANParks. 

Starting off as a gardener and all-rounder after college, Brandon quickly ranked up as Jacob's PA and right-hand man. Learning the ins and outs of the business, he's a staunch teammate. Brandon also knows the LBJ's of the Karoo quite well, as he is trained to do live bird monitoring. Brandon showed that starting at the bottom, you can achieve greatness with all out hard work and punctuality.
