Most Memorable Trip

My most memorable trip was a safari holiday in the Kruger National Park. I got to see the Big 5, hippos, monkeys, hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes, bush babies and countless bird species. I’ll never forget the extraordinary range of wildlife I saw, the excitement of a nighttime game drive or the fear I felt when we were charged by an elephant protecting her calf!

Top Of My Bucket-List

I'd love to experience the marine wildlife of Mnemba Island in Tanzania. I dream of kicking off my shoes and gazing out onto the crystal clear ocean, with a glass of champagne in hand - bliss!

Favourite Safari Animal

"I can't help but be drawn to the leopard. To me, they symbolize strength and courage, and of course, their coat is absolutely beautiful!"

Sundowner Of Choice

"A crisp, chilled glass of Graham Beck bubbly is my favorite way to end off a long day of game drives."

Favourite Property

"Serengeti Under Canvas Camp excites me! The camp moves five times a year so that it is perfectly positioned along the path of the Great Migration."

Top Travel Tip

Pack smart and pack light! Many of the places that you will stay at will have laundry facilities, enabling you to wear items more than once. The lighter you pack, the more souvenirs you can bring home! Packing light is essential if your trip includes a small aircraft flight as these flights have weight restrictions.

The Best Part Of My Job

Receiving images and positive feedback from clients reaffirms my passion for creating exceptional travel experiences for others. Flicking through their photos and seeing the enjoyment on their faces while on a trip I helped organize gives me a great sense of fulfillment!
