Ashley Holland was born in England but moved to South Africa at 3 months of age, where he grew up on remote farms in the Transvaal. It was here he developed his love of wild and remote places and learnt to speak Afrikaans. At the age of 10 Ash moved to Botswana on the edge of the Okavango Delta where his mother was running a lodge. After two years they re-migrated to England for a couple years of education before moving to Guyana, where Ashley's mother set up a bush camp on the Mazaruni River.

Fishing and wildlife guide Ashley Holland with a 4lb Arawana caught at Fish Pond in the lower Rewa River.  Arawana are one of Ashley's favourite fish to catch as they are shy, smart and due to their bony mouth hard to hook and a real challenge to land.

In 1994 Ashley travelled to the Rupununi and fell in love with the area and lifestyle and commenced working at Karanambu Ranch. Since then he has learned about the area, its people and the incredible flora and fauna. Ash is most at home out in the bush, especially on the rivers where he can fish, observe wildlife, explore new and remote areas, and learn from the locals about bush lore. He considers he was born 100 years too late, and would have been best suited as an early explorer, or naturalist of some kind. 

Ashley is now a well respected guide who enjoys leading small groups into the remote and wild areas of the Rupununi. He is an excellent boat captain, fishing guide and naturalist.
