You will be among giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, ostriches, water buffalos, springboks, elands, addax antelopes, sables, watusis, kudus, scimitar oryx and dozens of other species! You will be in over 18,000 acres of beautiful Texas Hill Country with thousands of free-ranging wildlife. The private guides that our group will have exclusively are extremely friendly and will work with you to get you that once-in-a-lifetime photo that you have been searching for!

Role of a Beatrice bradley hostess

Beatrice Bradley is an Experience Company not a Tour Company.  The role of a Beatrice Bradley Host is to be warm and welcoming. To relate and connect. To have attention to details. And to manage the behind-the-scenes magic so your experience is one-of-a-kind. They are not local experts nor are they tour guides. We hire local experts, guides, and historians as each location warrants. They are expert hosts and manage the camaraderie and logistics of the experience. Our goal is that your hostess will make you feel welcomed, comfortable, and that you will walk away with new & lasting friendships made during an unforgettable experience.
