I was born in Yorkshire, England, and emigrated with my family to sunny South Africa in the early 1980s. We settled in the Mother City – Cape Town. My love affair with the African bush was soon to begin. Growing up, we spent holidays in the Kruger National Park, travelled by road through Zimbabwe and experienced the mighty Zambezi River - sharing its sandbanks at night with the resident hippos and crocodiles. I was left feeling totally in awe of my surroundings. This would be the trip that completely cemented my love for Africa. My travel career launched in 1995, when I became the Western Cape’s youngest ever qualified Tour Guide, but I soon realised that my true passion lay on the planning side of things. It’s what I’ve been doing ever since. I relish in knowing that I have created the best possible itinerary for my clients – whether it be a luxury family holiday or a romantic honeymoon. Over the past 25 years, I’ve had the great privilege of working with some of the industry’s top travel agencies, which has given me the extensive product knowledge I have today. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some incredible places and spend time in some amazing safari properties and luxury hotels and resorts. I have also created wonderful relationships with my suppliers, and I continue to work with them closely, ensuring my clients receive only the very best experiences. I specialise in the following destinations across Africa: South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Seychelles and Egypt. Favourite safari moment: While every moment spent on safari is incredibly special, there is one in particular that will stay with me forever. When I was last in Botswana, I travelled to experience some of the properties that Great Plains offer and we were based at Duba Plains Camp in the Okavango Delta. We headed out for our late afternoon game drive.
