The youngest of the five is Nadav Ossendryver (19), CEO and founder of Latest Sightings, an online, real-time, wildlife spotting service for visitors to the Kruger National Park.

According to his Who’s Who profile, Ossendryver, nicknamed “Google McDuff”, was only 15 when he turned to technology to feed his curiosity for wildlife spottings and established Latest Sightings.

His website uses the concept of crowd sourcing – combining social media such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and BBM groups – and a website and iPhone, Windows and Android app to inform Kruger visitors and enthusiasts worldwide where interesting animals and birds have just been spotted.

The Kruger Sightings YouTube Channel is the most watched South African-based channel with over 315 million views.
