Patrick Grealy

Ranger

Patrick was born and raised in Johannesburg and from a young age dreamt about living in the bush. He grew up going on family holidays to Madikwe in the North West where his passion grew. After high school Patrick went to the Eastern Cape to complete his guide training, and it was here where his love for wildlife, conservation and birds deepened. After studying in Cape Town, he started a career in Johannesburg but did not feel fulfilled by his 9 to 5 desk job and wanted bigger and better things. An opportunity arose for him to begin his training at Londolozi, something he took full advantage of, becoming part of the Londolozi guiding team in 2021 and fulfilling his dream of living in the bush
