We hosted a webinar for Bushtracks Expeditions a few years ago and were immediately smitten with the company, the family and their approach to travel.
Meet the Visionaries (and brothers) Behind Bushtracks: Christopher, David, and Nicholas Tett! Christopher and Samantha Tett are the dedicated duo driving the success of Bushtracks Africa, while David Tett leads Bushtracks Expeditions in the US with equal passion and expertise. These two divisions merged in 2021 to form the powerhouse we now know as Bushtracks, a leading name in African adventures. Christopher was born and raised in Zimbabwe. A graduate of Sandhurst and former Captain in the Irish Guards, he embarked on a tourism career in Zimbabwe before founding Bushtracks Africa with his wife Samantha in 1996. They oversee a thriving operation with over 150 staff, more than 55 vehicles, including electric ones, and two 5-star steam trains. Their commitment extends beyond business, participating in initiatives like the Elephant Charge and cycling across Zambia to raise awareness against gender-based violence. David Tett, a passionate Zimbabwean with a deep-rooted connection to the land, brings his extensive experience in crafting educational and immersive expeditions to Bushtracks Expeditions. With a degree in Zoology, Microbiology, and DNA technology from the University of Cape Town, David has dedicated over 35 years to exploring remote corners of the globe and bridging the gap between wildlife conservation and local communities. Nicholas Tett, Bushtracks Chairman and CFO, is the older brother of David and Christopher Tett. Raised alongside his brothers, he developed a deep passion for Africa's people, wildlife, and ecosystems through family farm experiences, cattle ranches, and wild expeditions led by his grandfather, parents, and school. After attending the University of Bristol in England, Nicholas embarked on a career in the African travel industry, amassing over 25 years of experience and visiting nearly all the top destinations on the continent. Now based in London, Nicholas leverages his extensive knowledge of Africa and exceptional financial acumen to strategically guide Bushtracks, ensuring the company's growth and stability. Together, these leaders have transformed Bushtracks into a premier provider of custom safaris and adventures, combining their unique expertise and shared commitment to preserving Africa's natural treasures. Join us in celebrating the Tett family’s dedication and explore the extraordinary journeys that await with Bushtracks. 🚂🦁 #Bushtracks #BushtracksExpeditions #LuxuryTravel #LuxurySafari #Zimbabwe #Africa
