Steve Bebington
For as long as he can remember, Steve Bebington has been in love with Nature, particularly African wildlife. He has devoted much of his life to sharing this passion with people from all over the world, working as a professional guide in the Greater Kruger, Botswana, and Malawi. Then, when the elephants started looking a bit small, he focused on whales and other marine life off the southern coast of South Africa. Since 2020, he has merged this passion with his love of writing; producing content for the safari industry across southern and east Africa. He is an avid photographer, loves music, and explores nature wherever he finds it.
