Mohamed Mia

Social Media, Marketing and Hospitality

Mohamed Mia is our Social Media, Marketing and Hospitality guru! As this role encompases many facets within the Untamed Africa business, a person with great passion and interest in travel across Africa is a necessity. Mohamed certainly suits his role perfectly.

Growing up as a frequent visitor of the Kruger National Park, Mohamed developed a great passion and interest in nature and wildlife. In 2012, he took up digital photography with the purpose of capturing his spectacular experiences and adventures within the African wilderness. Looking for more than just a simple image, Mohamed strives to capture the moment and the feeling of his experiences in each snap. In this way his experiences are translated to a greater audience in order to encourage an appreciation of the beauty of these natural habitats and a purpose to conserve the African bush for generations to come.

Favourite Place for Photography:

Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park

Farouk Hassen

Head Guide and Director

We are incredibly fortunate to have a Head Guide at Untamed Africa with such an immense passion and vast experience with the African wilderness. Nature runs deep within his veins!

Growing up on a farm, Farouk was exposed to the great and vast outdoors since early childhood and developed a passion and love for nature. It seemed almost natural that he would join a training program through a Volunteer Organization to learn how to be a guide and interpret the African Bush. The organization’s focus was to provide services that related to the conservation of the natural environment and wildlife with South Africa.

The training ignited a spark, which eventually erupted into a flame! Qualifying as a Guide for Vehicle Bound Activities in 2008, Farouk furthered his training to become a Trails Guide.

Since then, he has assisted and led numerous drives, day walks, and overnight hiking trails in Big Five territory within the Kruger National Park as well as other reserves that house dangerous game within Southern Africa. He’s the perfect guide for your tour across Africa with the Untamed Africa team.
