Founder
Born in South Africa and raised in the US, my passion for Africa developed as a child, spending summers with relatives touring South Africa’s national parks and the famed Garden Route. After college, I took a 6-month, overland trip through five Southern African countries, inspiring my career to help others experience this mystic continent.
In nearly 20 years of organizing custom safaris, I’ve made multiple visits to nearly every country in East and Southern Africa, as well as Egypt, Ethiopia and numerous Indian Ocean islands. I’ve been on countless game drives throughout Africa, visited villages from Cairo to Cape Town, tracked rhinos in Zimbabwe, fly-fished for Tiger fish on the Zambezi, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya, dived with Great White sharks, and trekked gorillas and chimpanzees. Yet I am always yearning for my next visit to Africa.
Throughout those adventures, I’ve learned not only the best locations within each country but also, just as important, when to go. Wildlife viewing changes dramatically throughout the course of a year, so selecting the right property for the time of year traveling is key in creating a once-in-a-lifetime safari.
