Mr Ras K . Munduu - Tour and Safaris Operations
Brief story of my journey into Tourism!
Kamananisa Munduu affectionately known as Ras in the Tourism corridors, grew up near Lake Ngami communal lands and in the nearby Kalahari desert, 150 km South West of Maun, where my parents (Ova Mbanderu /Ova Herero) farms. This area is well known as a big ‘cattle baron’ traditional farming area in Botswana.
Back on the farm my father had asked a few San (Bushmen) friends to give my brother (BB also a safari guide) and I some tracking lessons, to develop our power of observation skills and bush survival lessons. My dad believed that learning by doing is the best method of knowledge transfer. Consequently we were taken out on hunting expeditions by these elders to master their arts and skills. In my youth, back in 1981, I saw a Bird Safari hunting vehicle while herding cattle with my younger brother and I was fascinated by the design. I said to brother I would like to do something that when I finish school. We skipped school once in while to go watch hunters shooting birds and we acted as beaters and took birds home to eat.
In school years I joined the wildlife club and I was lucky enough to have gone on a school trip to Moremi , Savuti, Chobe where I again saw safari vehicles after a long gap. After high school I did national service (Tirelo Sechaba) in Molepole / Dutlwe Wildlife camp / Khutse Game Reserve with Department of Wildlife National Parks 1995 – 1996. This period further inspired my passion for a bush safari, wildlife and teaching people about these wilderness mysteries. While I was there I heard about a guiding license examination and I applied to write and succeeded. Armed with my guiding license I completed my driving test and secured a drivers licence too.
