Marius Coetzee: How a Safari Guide Became a Wildlife Photographer and Built a Global Business
Manage episode 476978157 series 3594711
What does it take to turn a spontaneous safari job into a global wildlife photography business? In this episode, Marius Coetzee shares his incredible journey from growing up in apartheid-era South Africa to founding Endless Safaris. With no formal training in photography and no traditional degree, Marius built a life around his love for nature, animal behaviour, and storytelling. He opens up about the early pressures of choosing a conventional path, the bold decision to walk away from it, and what it really means to trust your instincts.
We dive into his 25 years in the safari industry, the realities of guiding people through the wild, and why photography is about far more than gear. From capturing tigers in Ranthambore to leading tours in Antarctica, Marius reflects on the lessons nature has taught him, the myths around creative careers, and why being brave is the most underrated skill of all.
