Most Memorable Trip

My holiday in the Maldives was a dream come true and had been on my bucket list for as long as I could remember! Waking up to crystal-clear waters and enjoying a morning swim was a surreal experience.

Top Of My Bucket-List

I would love to experience the raw beauty of Tanzania. You could be witnessing the riveting spectacle of the Great Migration one moment and the next you could be on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. This multifaceted country ticks all my boxes of thrill and relaxation!

Favourite Safari Animal

"The elephant has always been my favourite safari sighting. The way they move with purpose and gentleness, interacting socially, is something that I could happily watch for hours. Their intelligence and deep emotions add an extra layer of fascination, making every sighting a unique and cherished memory from my safari adventures."

Sundowner Of Choice

"There’s nothing better than enjoying a glass of white wine while watching the sky fill up with the colours of the African sunset. Some of my favourite wines are crafted right in the Cape Winelands, just a stone's throw away from my home in Cape Town."

Favourite Property

"With so many amazing properties how could I choose a favourite?! But, Tengile River Lodge is one of them. Tengile is a beautiful property situated along a river bank in Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Every part of this property is picturesque and is the perfect spot to experience the Big 5."

Top Travel Tip

Use packing cubes! These ingenious companions do more than just organise your luggage, they transform into makeshift drawers in your hotel room. Unpacking is a breeze as you simply place the cubes in the dresser, and voilà, you've got instant order amidst the travel chaos!

The Best Part Of My Job

Receiving a beaming review and photos from my client's trips is truly rewarding. The fact that I get to pursue my passion every day and make other people happy at the same time makes my job all the more fulfilling.
