Growing up in Underberg, a village in the foothills of South Africa's famous Drakensberg mountains, instilled a passion for the continent's raw beauty in me from a young age. After moving from one World Heritage Site to another – uMkhuze Game Reserve in South Africa's Greater St Lucia Wetland Park – a career helping others to explore and appreciate Africa came as a natural calling to me.

My passion for travel grew when I began my career at Seabourn Cruise Liners, getting to travel the world before returning to South Africa to work at hotels in both Durban and Johannesburg. My journey eventually led me to Go2Africa, where I can really practice my passion as an Africa Safari Expert! 

Soulful Safari Reflection

Africa’s magic lies in its vast landscapes and diverse wildlife. The sight of a lion prowling through the savannah, the thrill of a herd of elephants making their way to a watering hole, and the serene beauty of a sunset over the plains all come together to capture the essence of this incredible continent. Every moment spent in Africa offers a chance to connect with nature in a way that is both humbling and awe-inspiring. 

Most Memorable Experience Organised for a Client

I arranged a pre-wedding safari photoshoot for clients of mine – which included scouting picturesque sites, consulting guides with a passion for photography on times for the best lighting, ensuring that the wedding dress arrived on time, and constantly checking that the crew and couple were kept happy throughout.

My Best African Travel Advice

Being on safari is a casual affair, so leave the jewellery at home and be sure to pack layers!
