With a love for East Africa, nature and people, our safari guides constantly exceed our guests’ expectations. Of course, we are very proud of that. However, we also make sure that only the best of the best guide you through your safari experience.
We put every member of our team through a rigorous selection process where we test candidates’ local knowledge, natural expertise and professional qualifications. On top of that, we hold regular trainings to deepen their knowledge, so that they can answer each and every question you might have.
Yingying Shi
Experience in the Wild
I have over 15 years of travel experience in Africa, including more than a decade as a professional safari guide, leading travelers from around the world deep into the wilderness of East and Southern Africa. Years of first-hand fieldwork have not only given me rich experience in wildlife observation and guiding, but also a deeper understanding of the relationship between people and nature.
Favorite Safari Destination
My favorite destination is Samburu, Kenya. It is home to the rare and unique “Samburu Special Five” and is one of Africa’s top birding paradises. Compared with more popular parks, Samburu has fewer tourists and a quieter atmosphere, making it an ideal place to appreciate wildlife and nature in peace and depth.
Wildlife & Nature Expertise
I graduated from the Centre for Tourism Training and Research (CTTR) and am a registered professional safari guide with the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association (KPSGA).
With a background in wildlife studies and cross-disciplinary experience in medicine, journalism, and education, I specialize in creating immersive and in-depth safari experiences. I have also been trained as an Intermediate Nature Education Instructor in Finland. Beyond planning and guiding safari journeys across East and Southern Africa, I am also passionate about designing and leading nature education programs and nature-based healing experiences, ensuring that travel is not only about seeing, but also about connecting—with nature and with oneself.
Guiding Style & Philosophy
“Discover the World, Find Yourself” is both my personal motto and the guiding philosophy of Bobu Africa. As the founder of Bobu Africa, I believe that travel is not just about reaching a destination—it is a journey of the soul.
With our guidance and companionship, I hope guests can rediscover the beauty of the world in Africa’s wilderness:
- Discover the grandeur of nature and the uniqueness of wildlife;
- Learn about ecology and the subtle connections of life;
- In the silence and vastness of the wild, reflect on the meaning of harmony between people and nature.
- I believe every authentic experience in nature becomes a mirror that reflects who we are. To explore Africa is, in essence, to explore our inner courage, curiosity, and reverence.
