My Safari: 25 Years of African Travel Experience

I fell head over heels in love with African safaris on my first wildlife adventure in 1997. Camping in remote Southern Tanzania, something inside me just clicked - and I've been exploring Africa's magnificent wilderness ever since.

Over 25 years of African safari experiences have shaped my journey across the continent, from Ethiopia's ancient highlands to South Africa's premier game reserves. My passion for diverse safari experiences has led me through extraordinary adventures, from canoeing safaris on Zambia's mighty Zambezi River to walking safaris tracking lions in Botswana's private reserves. I've embraced every style of safari adventure, mountain biking around Kenya's Great Rift Valley, conducting conservation work in Madagascar's pristine ecosystems, and tracking rhinos through Namibia's desert landscapes.

In 2008, I embarked on the ultimate African adventure - driving from the UK to South Africa's Cape Agulhas, spending 6 months exploring Africa's most remote wilderness areas. This immersive journey deepened my understanding of luxury safari accommodations across the continent, from exclusive mobile tented camps in the Serengeti to private island lodges in the Indian Ocean. I've personally experienced the finest safari houses in South Africa and discovered that my favourite thing is sleeping under the stars in treehouses!

After a successful corporate career, I transformed my passion for African travel into a full-time safari planning business in 2019. Today, I'm recognised as one of the UK's leading independent safari experts, bringing deep expertise in prime wildlife viewing locations across Africa. My knowledge spans optimal seasonal timing for different destinations, current on-the-ground conditions in key safari regions, and extensive experience with both luxury and adventure accommodation options.
