  Dereck and Beverly Joubert

  Environmentalists, Authors and Founders of Great Plains Foundation

  Dereck and Beverly Joubert are truly some of the most remarkable innovators and environmentalists in the African safari world today. They began their career—and fell in love—tracking big cats in the Botswana bush, and they advocated for their protection with their award-winning films for the National Geographic Society, for whom they continue to work as Explorers-in-Residence today. They have since founded the Big Cats Initiative, which currently funds 80 grants in 27 countries for the conservation of big cats; contributed over 25 films to National Geographic, with some of the most well-known films being The Last Lions and Soul of the Elephant; published dozens of books and scientific research papers; established the Great Plains Foundation, which manages some of our favorite luxury safari lodges and concessions, from Botswana to Zimbabwe; and founded a groundbreaking rhino conservation project, Rhinos Without Borders.
