Africa Safari Expert

A citizen of the world, I was born in Johannesburg, raised across South Africa, lived in London and New Zealand, and explored Europe and Asia. Most of my life has been spent migrating from one place to the next so making the choice to study Travel and Tourism one of the easiest decisions I've made!

I eventually returned to South Africa, where I had the opportunity to work for different companies in the tourism sector before joining the amazing team at Go2Africa in 2006! Africa holds a special place in my heart and getting to share that with my clients makes going to work every day a dream!

Soulful Safari Reflection

Spending an hour with the gorillas in Uganda, watching a male silverback cuddle and carry a 2-week old baby (which the guides advised was not very common!).

My Best African Travel Advice

I always travel with my zebra-print buff and my sarong – each have multiple functions that prove useful when on safari! Also, a top tip: At Governors' Il Moran Camp in Kenya's Masai Mara, ask for Tent 3 as it has the best view and a hammock overlooking the river for some extra game viewing. When I was there, we saw a mother hippo and hew new-born baby on the banks with a giant crocodile lying in wait!
