The Real Herd Behind the Scenes

Before the sunsets and stampedes, there’s this crew. The trackers, planners, storytellers, and campfire whisperers who make the magic happen. We’re not just your guides—we’re your binoculars, your backup, and your believers in bucket-list dreams. Meet the team that eats logistical puzzles for breakfast and knows the bush better than their own backyards (because, well, it is their backyard).

Proper Manyanda

Founder. Bush whisperer. Master of organised adventure.

Prosper Manyanda isn’t just the name behind Wild Quest—he’s the pulse. What began as a love for the bush turned into a mission: to show travellers that the wild is not just a place, but a feeling. With years spent navigating the untamed beauty of Southern Africa, Prosper blends the precision of a planner with the heart of a storyteller. He’s the kind of guy who can spot a lion in the distance while planning your sundowner setup—and still have time to crack a dry joke about it. More than a guide, he’s a curator of moments: the kind you don’t just remember, but feel in your bones. From tracking elephants to orchestrating seamless multi-day journeys, Prosper’s vision is clear—make every guest see how much they haven’t seen, and then some. Wild Quest is his canvas. The wilderness is his boardroom. And every trip? That’s his signature.
