About
Curteis Roberts
Born in a small town called Dundee, I grew up visiting Game Reserves all over South Africa from as early as 4 months old and travelled overseas for the first time at 7. I started photography at 14 and began creating content in 2017. Over time, I have travelled to 22 countries. What sets me apart is my experience: I combine my enthusiasm and passion with my skills in technology and photography in a way that no one else can. This is powerful because it allows me to tell stories from a unique perspective.
I have worked in hospitality for 8 years now, taking on roles such as a guide, cook, barman, waiter, and porter.
I have stayed in 5-star lodges all over Africa and camped on the ground under the stars, allowing me to see the "Safari World" from both sides – as a guest and as a seasoned professional.
​
In 2020, the idea of Experience Africa was born. By then, I had guided over 800 people from around the world and realized that the safari experiences in South Africa weren’t holistic enough for the guests. Game drives are important, but so are the food, activities, and the deeper knowledge gained by asking the right questions and seeking the truth. In starting my own business, I wanted to connect guests with local experiences and show them the real South Africa, not just an idealized version.

I am a storyteller, and while I love guiding, I find greater passion in storytelling. Photography and videography are my paintbrushes in life, helping me show the world through my eyes and highlighting the beauty of South Africa and the goodness within people. Social media has the power to connect the world, and my NPC, Nature Connection, was a dream 8 years ago that is now a reality. The internet serves as a medium for connecting animal-loving people with the world of business to ensure the safekeeping of our natural environment and preserve wildlife for future generations.
​
Unfortunately, the communities around National Parks haven’t had many opportunities to participate in tourism and often lack the education needed to appreciate and protect wildlife. As a result, some resort to actions that harm our wildlife. That is why 40% of all sales on this site go to Nature Connection. I believe business and doing good are not mutually exclusive – they are connected, just like all people and animals are interconnected.
