Africa Trip Leader

Franco Morao

Franco Morao was born on a farm in eastern Namibia and completed secondary school in Windhoek, where excursions peaked his interest in becoming a camp guide. He honed his skills to become advanced-level guide at the Ongava Private Game Reserve, gained his National Guiding Certificate in 2012, and has worked in all of Namibia’s iconic spots, from Damaraland to Etosha.  Franco’s engaging personality and wilderness skills make him a sought-after private guide, and he has become a keen birder and accomplished photographer.
