Brooke Squires has worked in zoos, national parks and conservation areas around the world for more than 25 years. Her enduring love for the wildlife and people of Africa began as a child when her family was stationed in South Africa. Later, during her years working at Zoos Victoria in Australia, Brooke joined the Wildlife Science and Conservation team, developing and implementing community conservation programs in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo. These experiences eventually led her to creating RAW Africa Eco-Tours, operating across our region and the African continent. When not guiding nature lovers around, Brooke does it all from Williamstown, Australia. [bio updated: 2026-05]
