Why the safaricologist?
Africa’s wilderness inspires me – the wildlife, the landscapes, the people and those who come to appreciate it. Sharing it with others and getting the most out of every situation motivates me.
As a professional safari guide and luxury safari camp manager, I have lived and worked in some of the most remote and wild places Africa has to offer. I have witnessed the humbling realities of nature not only through my eyes but through the eyes of my guests, which is something that is deeply rewarding and satisfying to me.
I know by now what people want and I appreciate that there is no limit to what can be done to go the extra mile. Patience, humour and friendliness are my strong points. I treat what I have learned about the environment, including humans, as a science that I continuously question and build on for deeper meaning and better understanding.
“You will know that Africa has changed you forever, and you will miss it before you leave… But if you do not leave, you cannot return.”
