Having grown up near the northern reaches of South Africa’s Kruger National Park, Pravir was immersed in the wild from an early age. Family camping trips during weekends and school holidays nurtured a deep appreciation for nature and sparked a lifelong curiosity about the rhythms of life in the bush.
After completing his Bachelor of Commerce with Honours at the University of the Witwatersrand, Pravir chose to follow his passion for the wilderness rather than a corporate career. In 2013 he began guiding at Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve, an experience that laid the foundation for a career spent exploring the wild places of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and the Pafuri region of northern Kruger. These years helped shape both his guiding skills and his vision as a wildlife photographer.
His photography has taken him to some of the world’s most iconic destinations across southern and east Africa, India, Brazil, and Chile. Pravir has guided photographic safaris to see all seven of the world’s Big Cats: Tiger, Lion, Jaguar, Leopard, Puma, Snow Leopard, and Cheetah. Although big cats remain a passion, he believes that every animal, no matter its size, has a story worth capturing.
