Born and raised in Seronga in the heart of the Okavango Panhandle, Lesh grew up with the delta as her backyard. The waterways, the birdlife, the rhythm of the bush — it is in her blood.
With over 10 years in the safari industry and married to a professional safari guide, the bush is not just her workplace — it is her home. An avid birder, she brings a unique depth of knowledge to every journey.
An absolutely life-changing experience. The guides knew exactly where to find the leopards, and our mobile camp was perfectly positioned each night. Wild Thread made it feel effortless and utterly magical.
We saw lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant and wild dog in one week. The team's local knowledge is unmatched. This was our third trip to Africa and by far the best. We will be back with Wild Thread.
From the mokoro ride through the Delta to sundowners watching elephants at the waterhole — every single moment was perfection. Personalized, professional, and genuinely passionate about Botswana.
