African Proverb

I had the good fortune of being born and raised in Southern Africa, where my love and curiosity for our wild places was ingrained from an early age. After university I spent a few exciting years working hands-on in safari camps, training to be a guide. My passion for our wonderful continent grew the more I learned about it, and I feel privileged to be able to help people plan their African experience.

Hear from my clients

Hi Paolo – Happy New Year! This was one of the absolute best trips I have taken – the property, food, excursion, were all exquisite!

Wilderness Guest - 2024

The gorillas and monkeys were both great – although of course, the gorillas were the highlight. I have been telling everyone they need to plan a trip for this once-in-a-life time experience! The mornings were perfect weather. It rained each afternoon but I made use by getting a massage, etc. The trip was perfect (except for my lost luggage – but that is on the airlines and I didn’t let it ruin the trip!).

Wilderness Guest - Rwanda 2024

Our trip was fantastic. The delay at Doro Nawas was not a problem and allowed us to have a nice lunch and see the camp. Our stay at Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp was terrific as we literally pretty much had it to ourselves. We loved our trip to the coast and flight back to camp. We have done many safaris and our guide William was one of the best we have ever had.
