We aim to leave places better than we found them by treading lightly, supporting conservation, and promoting responsible travel.

Our Vision
Our Story
Khutšo Travel is a proudly South African company and we want to share what we love most about South Africa with the world. Alex and Declan are both Qualified Field Guides and the founders of Khutšo Travel. They first met at the Selati Game Reserve while training to be guides, this is where they learnt of their shared love for wildlife, nature and conservation.
Later on they came to work together running a small tour operator in the Kruger National Park where they hosted guided game drives and private dining experiences. After parting ways and each going to guide in other parts of South Africa, they began discussing what they missed most about working together which is where the idea for Khutšo Travel was born. The plan was simple: go back to basics and show people what we love most about South Africa.
