About me

 I love to travel and have been working in the African travel industry since 1994. Started in an overland company and now run my own business organising tailored holidays throughout Southern Africa, with a speciality in South African safaris. I regularly visit the game reserves and lodges to be sure that I keep up to date with whats happening and to be able to offer clients the best advice and guidance from first hand experience.
