His captivating overland expeditions are beautifully documented in the “Juba’s Journey” YouTube series. It was after this incredible expedition that Endless Africa was founded in 2020.

Quintin Rutherford
Lead Tour Guide
Quintin is a certified FGASA field and trails guide with 8 years experience, who launched his career at Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve where he spent 4 years working alongside industry experts who consistently inspired him to evolve and enhance his skills. He also worked as field guide at Tswalu Game Reserve and during this time, he delved deep into the inner workings of the unique Kalahari ecosystem, gathering a wealth of knowledge about the extraordinary Kalahari landscape.
Quintin developed an unwavering passion for exploring the African continent from a young age. Experiencing life in the remote wilderness of Botswana as his family moved frequently ignited his deep desire to continue his adventures across Africa. His journey was deeply influenced by his grandfather, a passionate naturalist, who guided him toward a career dedicated to the African bush.
As a child, Quintin’s holidays were filled with exploration, as he ventured into the beautiful landscapes of the Drakensberg. However, amidst the natural beauty, he also bore witness to a disheartening sight – the encroachment of pollution upon once-pristine coastlines and the gradual disappearance of Sand Forests during his time living in Durban. This transformation ignited his mission to share the importance of preserving these precious landscapes and remains the driving force in his life’s work today.
He is a passionate birder and a tactical chess player, Quintin brings a wealth of strategic thinking and a deep appreciation for nature to any adventure. With a warm and approachable demeanor, he effortlessly connect with others, making him an ideal companion for outdoor adventures.
