General Manager

Daniel Schörger

Daniel’s job as our General Manager is almost as diverse as his background. Growing up in Turkey and Germany, he moved to England before settling in South Africa. He studied Psychology at the University of Constance and completed his MBA at the University of Cape Town, worked in the film industry, as director of an NGO and Global HR manager at an international airline. Today, Daniel pulls the strings behind the scenes, aligning strategy with reality and translating it into our day-to-day business. Whenever he gets the chance, he escapes to Cape Town’s beaches and mountains or the remote Wild Coast.

Tanya was born in Namibia, but lived most of her life in South Africa. Nevertheless, her love for the nature, culture and languages of her birthplace has never left her side. Her passion for tourism grew during her language studies in Germany and she started working in the tourism industry after she graduated in 2013. Her focus has mainly been on East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda), but has now shifted closer to home. She has been on camping and lodge safaris in Namibia, especially in the less visited northern part, and is eager to show guests why Namibia forever holds a place in her heart.

Mattheus Ndineti

Since his high school days in Germany and in Namibia’s Swakopmund, Mattheus always had the urge to be outdoors and spend time in nature. After a few detours, he eventually made the transition from lodge management of one of southern Namibia’s most well-known lodges to being a tour guide and on the road with us. When travelling with Mattheus, you will not only learn about Namibia’s flora and fauna, but about its complex and ancient history of which he is an expert. He will share his Namibia with you and get you involved from the very first day, so you can see and experience Namibia through the eyes of a local.

Enrico Zynda

Enrico has been working in the tourism industry since the early 90s. After growing up in Namibia, he worked in various other countries and even on cruise ships. When he returned to Namibia, becoming a tour guide just seemed like the next logical step for him. He loves travelling inside and outside of his home country. As a real Namibian, he has a lot of knowledge about the country and loves to share his local insights with our guests. What makes Namibia special for Enrico is its diversity and vastness. His favourite place is Vierkantklip just outside of Swakopmund, where the dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean with the road in between. What Enrico loves most about his job is that he learns new things every day, on every tour and from all his guests.

Wolfgang Ramdohr

As a trained zoologist, Wolfgang loves to share his in-depth knowledge about Namibian wildlife with his guests. His other passions include plants, particularly trees, as well as geology. Wolfgang grew up in Windhoek and returned to Namibia after studying in South Africa and travelling around Europe. He loves Namibia for its varied flora and fauna and the many extremes you find here. He is captivated by the fact that Namibia’s habitats “allow a view into the geological past” thanks to the country’s dry climate and its sparse vegetation. Wolfgang has previously worked as a guide in Botswana and Zimbabwe before becoming part of the Namibia-Experience team in 2017. He strives to send his guests home relaxed and full of new experiences. As an avid photographer himself, he will also make sure that you always get the perfect angle for your photographs.

Lesley Mootseng

Lesley never planned on becoming a guide. After finishing school in Namibia, he lived in Germany for ten years where he trained and worked as a male nurse. When he returned to Namibia, he fell in love with guiding and says he “still loves it like the first day”. He loves everything about his job, from spending time with his guests to solving problems while on tour. He is also a passionate driver. Lesley proudly says of himself that he “always gives 100%”, and he is especially good with families. What he thinks makes Namibia special are the wide, open spaces and that you can “hear the silence”. He is also fascinated by the country’s many contrasts in terms of landscape, culture and climate. He hopes that his guests understand nature better after being on tour with him, so that they can fact-check what Discovery channel says about Namibia.
