MOST MEMORABLE TRIP

My most memorable experience has to be swimming with the wild dolphins off the rugged coastline of Mozambique whilst staying at the beautiful White Pearl resort.

TOP OF MY BUCKET-LIST

I would love the opportunity to spend a day Gorilla trekking in Uganda or Rwanda. Spending time with these gentle giants is an absolute bucket list experience for me.

Favourite Safari Animal

"I love all wild animals and find it tough to pick a favourite, but I do especially love sighting any baby animal in the bush."

Sundowner Of Choice

"It has to be a glass of bubbles. Does anything say luxury more than sipping from your flute while taking in the tangerine hues of sunset?"

Favourite Property

"Without a doubt is Angama Mara, in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. The warm service is unbelievably personalized from all lodge staff."

top travel tip

Never travel without an extra pair socks to keep your feet warm on long-haul flights.

The Best Part Of My Job

I love the constant learning and discovering of new destinations and properties. No day is the same as there is always something new and exciting to be found.
