Guides
Know someone who actually knows the park.
Browse real, approved guides for the park you’re in — their bio, certifications, languages, vehicle, rate, and reviews from past drives, all in one profile. Send a booking request, the guide accepts or declines, and you’re sorted before you even leave camp.
Not a marketplace checkout — a straight, honest request-and-accept flow between you and the guide, same as opspoor’s sightings feed is built on real people, not black-box listings.
From directory to drive
No agency, no middleman markup — just the guide.
Browse guides for your park
Filter the directory by park to see only guides who actually work there — no scrolling past guides three provinces away.
Check the profile, not just the price
Bio, certifications, languages, vehicle type, rate, species-spotted count, and a real star rating with written reviews from past guests.
Pick a date and request a booking
Choose an open slot from the guide's own availability, set your party size and drive type, add a message, and send the request.
The guide accepts — you're set
Track the request in My Bookings. Once it's done, leave a star rating and review for the next traveller to see.
Only on opspoor
An approved badge, a real rating, and a rate you see before you ask.
Every guide goes through an approval step before they show up in the directory. Their profile carries an average star rating and review count built from actual completed bookings, plus their rate up front — “From R{X} per drive,” not a DM negotiation. You know what you’re getting before you request anything.
