Meet Chase Wells, Private Photographic Guide & Bush Pilot

Chase is a skilled private photographic guide, experienced bush pilot, and passionate photographer, devoted to creating safari experiences that inspire a deep love and appreciation for Africa, reflecting the strong bond he shares with the land.

His connection to the wild began early, when, at just six months old, he was flown from Johannesburg to the Okavango Delta for the first time. Growing up, Chase was fortunate to spend much of his time exploring Africa's wilderness—through game drives, bush walks, boating through the Okavango Delta, rhino relocation projects, buffalo darting and capturing, lion collaring, and more. This unparalleled exposure to nature ignited a lasting passion for the natural world. After many years of piloting in the Okavango Delta, Chase is now based in South Africa, where he leads safaris across Southern and East Africa, visiting some of the continent's most remote and untouched landscapes.

Chase's mission is to share Africa’s beauty with others, helping them develop a similar passion for the continent, while supporting lodges and camps that promote conservation, community well-being, and sustainability in these precious wild areas.
