Boiela Alan Monnaaletsatsi
Head Guide
Alan has been with Sanctuary for nine years now and is still very focused on giving guests the ‘whole’ bush experience. Judging by the feedback he receives this is exactly what he and his colleagues at Sanctuary Stanley’s Camp are offering. He believes 80% of the guests experience is about people; the rest is about the bush. His favourite animal is the baboon because you can watch it for hours and never get bored!
