We are a network of professional tour guides and tour operators spanning northern Australia dedicated to helping visitors experience, and understand, the natural and cultural histories of our locations. And that’s where interpretation comes in… Savannah Guides are skilled at translating the language of the natural world, and the various cultures that inhabit it, into clear, understandable concepts.
Savannah Guides work with many of Australia’s leading tourism, environmental and community organisations to pursue our Mission of being an economically sound, community based professional body which maintains high standards of:
- Interpretation and public education
- Training and guiding leadership
- Natural and cultural resource management
Through the promotion of ecologically sustainable tourism principles, we also aim to enhance regional lifestyles and encourage the protection and conservation of the natural and cultural resources of the Tropical Savannahs of Northern Australia.
Recognition
Savannah Guides received international recognition when they were awarded Best Tourism Organisation (World) and Australian Divisional Winner in the 2000 British Airways Tourism for Tomorrow Awards. We have also received numerous Tropical North Queensland, Queensland and Northern Territory Tourism Awards for Industry Training in the Private Sector and Tourism Services.
