I have been lucky enough to have travelled to over 35 countries and six continents and have seen most of the wonders of the world, but my love will always be the best wonder of all: Africa. Born and raised in South Africa, I can truly say that once you touch the soil in Africa, your feet may leave but your heart will remain in Africa. I absolutely love being immersed in a country’s culture and to experience what is truly unique to that part of the world. This at the core of being a traveller, not just a tourist. My passion is to go above and beyond to help people experience the best in travel, world culture, and, above all, Africa, by giving expert advice and creating unique itineraries. After all, every trip to a new destination is a dream that comes alive.

Favourite Travel Memory
Too many to choose but there is nothing like seeing a site that takes your breath away, realizing that you are actually there, like seeing the Pyramids, or the Grand Canyon, sailing Halong Bay, standing on top of Table Mountain or joining the locals for a cooking class, experiences like this is what travel is all about.
