  • Biography:

    I am a South African who loves life and the people, animals and plants in it. I have done 39 revolutions around the sun and still enjoying the journey.

    The NGO I am a part of aims to enable great community projects to become self sufficient by opening their doors to overseas travelers. The travelers in turn experience the tangible warmth and soul of South Africa and make changes that remain long after they have left.


    I am responsible for ensuring the travelers are well taken care of during their stay in SA, I also ensure the fee is ethically re invested back into the communities we support.

    It is an honor to assist any one who is willing to travel with soul !

The accommodation is in mud huts and the food fresh from the garden. Being out there with such simplicity is hard at times but there is a sense of how life was before modern western ways wormed their way into Africa. Its grounding, dry, sandy, spectacular and real..
