Our Team
Our team is happy to welcome you to Limpopo-Lipadi, whether you are a returning co-owner or a new guest. Here are a few members of the team and some of their thoughts about the Reserve.
Sandla (Anti-Poaching Unit)
We prioritise security. The company has invested so much on us through trainings and workshops. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this community. I enjoy living among wildlife and nature. The highlight of my career is part-taking in special wildlife operations such as translocations and monitoring of endangered species.
Thero (Procurement)
I’ve moved from the Anti-Poaching Unit to Procurement, taking on new challenges and putting my degree to use. This role is helping me build the skills I need to achieve my dream of becoming an officer in the office and, one day, a general manager.
Moses (Guiding)
I enjoy interacting with my guests, especially potential co-owners. I make them see Limpopo-Lipadi from a point of adventure and fun. For the long time I have been with LL, and I continue to build relationships with my teammates and co-owners.
Gofaone (Chef)
Working for Limpopo-Lipadi means that I am afforded the time and space to showcase my art to my fullest capacity. This is possible through the teamwork with my co-workers and Limpopo-Lipadi management. I believe that cooking is an art, and my art is constantly evolving and challenged through preparing food for guests with different preferences. This helps me grow in my profession to equate international cooking standards. I find that very special.
Lebogang (Chef)
I have met and interacted with many co-owners. What sets Limpopo-Lipadi apart from other Reserves I have worked at, is the community of different co-owners from all over the world who have come together because of their love for conservation. I joined this company as a security guard and have since grown to be a chef! The kitchen is my happy place.
Onalenna (Housekeeping)
I enjoy the relationships we have built over the years with our co-owners. I joined this company in 2013 and I have grown ever since. During my spare time I enjoy studying, as I am preparing myself for exams. I would like to continue with Limpopo-Lipadi until I become a manager. To me Limpopo-Lipadi is a sanctuary of people and the planet!
Rebecca (Accounting)
One (Procurement)
I am happy to be dealing with different clients and my colleagues. I strive for quality in every product or service we source for the company. What keeps me going in Limpopo-Lipadi are the happy people I interact with.
Actor (Guiding)
I like stories around wildlife, and I have lots and lots to share with my guests and colleagues. Limpopo-Lipadi is a happy place for me. I wish for Limpopo-Lipadi to grow beyond leaps and bounds!
Plue (Lodge Manager and community liaison)
I’m from Moletemane and spent over 10 years working behind the scenes in the Delta. Joining Limpopo-Lipadi brought me closer to home and to the Tuli Block’s rich cultural heritage. I’m proud to bring my experience to the Reserve and the local community. My dream is to grow with the company and become the General Manager.
Motse Community
Help us positively impact the lives of children and adults in the Tuli Block, Botswana!
The Motse Committee funds and oversees community outreach programmes requested by local community representatives. Motse means ‘community’ in Setswana, and is a combination of the first letters of Moletemane and Tsetsebjwe, the names of the 2 villages closest to Limpopo-Lipadi.
Most reserve staff come from these villages, and representatives of both villages sit on the Motse Committee, along with Limpopo-Lipadi shareholders.
Management and administration costs for Motse are covered by Limpopo-Lipadi, so 100% of funds received by Motse are spent on community projects.
