The people behind the magic

May 01, 2025

At Gwango, nature is only part of the story. The rest? That’s written every day by the people who show up with quiet dedication, strong hands and open hearts.

This Workers Day, we’re shining a light on the team behind your experience: the chefs who prepare your meals with care, the housekeeping staff who notice the small details, the gardeners who make farm-to-table possible, the guides who help you see the bush through their eyes and every other person who helps bring Gwango to life. 

If you’ve ever visited us, then you’ve already met them... maybe in the smile that welcomed you at reception, the guide who spotted the elephants in the trees, or the quiet greeting during your walk to dinner. These are the moments our team creates and they are never by accident. They come from a deep sense of pride and purpose.

Because when you visit Gwango, you don’t just support a business. You support real people, in real communities, doing work that matters to them. You give meaning to the hours they spend in the sun, in the kitchen, in the wild. Your presence here helps someone send their child to school. It helps someone build a life with dignity. And it reminds all of us that the work we do has value... far beyond what you see.

To our team: thank you. For your commitment, your spirit and the way you make this place feel like home.

And to our guests: thank you for choosing Gwango. We know many of you work hard too and choosing to spend your holiday here with us, does not go unnoticed. You’re part of something bigger than a holiday. You’re part of a shared purpose that means the world to us.
