Growing up in Kenya and Swaziland, I was fortunate to travel overland across the continent with my family often, which sparked my love for exploration from an early age. Since then, I’ve continued to embark on many exciting and memorable adventures throughout Africa.
My most memorable trip
Botswana
Visiting Botswana - I had never experienced such a profound sense of untamed beauty and wilderness as I did while traveling across this incredible country.
Best destination for families
Kenya
Kenya is a fantastic destination for families. The country offers a great mix of adventure, wildlife, culture and time to relax. Many lodges and camps are especially well suited to children with shorter game drives and activities such as animal tracking and bushcraft lessons.
See where I’ve travelled
Okavango Delta
"I absolutely loved gliding through the waterways of the Okavango Delta in a traditional dugout canoe. Known as a mokoro, these narrow boats are propelled through the Delta’s shallow waters using a long pole."
Northern Kenya
"Taking in the wild beauty of the Mathews Mountain Range and the vastness of Northern Kenya. Here forested peaks rise like islands out of the surrounding semi-desert."
Guinea-Bissau
"A 12-hour journey on a traditional boat carrying livestock from Bissau to the Bijagós Archipelago in Guinea-Bissau."
My favourite trip
Introducing Zimbabwe
This journey takes you deep into some of Zimbabwe’s wildest national parks. Mana Pools is a particular highlight, where you can explore the Zambezi floodplains on foot or by canoe and observe an incredible variety of wildlife. Ending the trip at Victoria Falls brings you face to face with one of the world’s great waterfalls.
My favourite hotel
Wilderness DumaTau
Wilderness DumaTau is one of my favourite places to stay in Botswana. Its setting on the Linyanti River brings wildlife incredibly close to camp. I could see large herds of elephants gathering to drink and crossing the river. It was incredible!
My top tips
Never skip an early morning game drive on safari. It’s often the best time to see predators active and witness some of the most dramatic scenes in the wild.
Remember to put the camera down every now and then and simply take it all in. Being present helps you absorb the moment and everything around you.
