The History

I want to experience life first hand, I don’t want to view it on the pages of a magazine or the screen of my flatscreen TV. People fascinate me, immersing myself in scenic splendour revives me and experiencing new things make my pulse beat. Travel humbles me, challenges me and reminds me to live in the moment. It forces me to reflect on myself, to accept that things do not always go as planned and to appreciate what I have back home. I never return home from a trip without being touched, stretched and changed by my encounters. It’s not so much about the destination as it is about my personal journey – especially when I travel alone. I travel because I have to travel – it is what brings me to life.

My Footprints

Africa and Asia are my travel loves – nature invigorates my soul, it’s my reboot button when life gets hectic. Give me the outdoors over the big city lights anyday! I’ve explored Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, UK, Ireland, Mauritius, Maldives, Dubai, Bali, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Greece. Next on the list – definitely Peru and the Inca Trail!

Most Memorable Holiday

A combo trip visiting Uganda and Rwanda. These countries really blew me away! Spotting the elusive Shoebill Stork on the Nile River, to swimming in a crater Lake, viewing lazy tree climbing lions, trekking chimps, and enjoying bush sundowners and bush breakfasts, this trip was filled with magical experiences. The rare privilege to come face to face with endangered mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is something words will never capture : surreal, humbling, incredible!

Your Best Piece of Travel Advice?

Sleeping in whilst travelling is never acceptable! It’s such a privilege to explore this incredible planet so soak up every moment. Whether it’s watching the sun rise over the Taj Mahal or the sunset over the Grand Canyon, slow down your thoughts and meditate on the blessing of being alive – then be sure to cram as much as you can see, taste and do in between every sunrise and sunset.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS

Our guide for the first part of the tour, Joseph Mutebi, was outstanding. In addition to being a very safe driver, he was very attentive to our needs and made us feel most welcome in Uganda from the first moment we stepped out of the airport arrivals hall. He has an exceptionally sharp eye for spotting birds (and other wildlife), and a keen ear for bird calls as well. He was very patient and proficient in helping us to locate and see what he had spotted, and he could identify the birds as quickly and accurately as the local guides (even with their specialized local knowledge). We had a nice birding rhythm and a great tour with Joseph, and we were very sorry when we had to say goodbye to him midway through our tour. We have travelled extensively in southern and eastern Africa, and we can honestly say that Joseph is one of the finest guides we have encountered.

I’m just back from a great trip to Botswana. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, the transports were seamless, and we saw a lot of animals. Thank you for all your work putting the itinerary together and making the reservations.

We want to thank you for the wonderful itinerary that you developed for us last week in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
We enjoyed each area and all that they had to offer. But, we had to admit that our favorite was Moremi Crossing. The people, food, accomodations and activities were delightful, personable and relaxing.
Again, many thanks for making our African experience so memorable.
Sincerely

Hi I just wanted to tell you that we stayed at your Serengeti Wilderness Camp, and it was just terrific. It was a great blend of simple and rustic, but still comfortable. Mostly, I wanted to compliment the staff. They were all very professional and saw to our every need. And highest marks must go to your amazing chef. I wish we could have stayed long enough to try every menu. If he opened a restaurant in Los Angeles, people would flock to it! So thank you so much! I have relatives planning to come to Tanzania in the fall- do you have your rates for that time set? It would be two couples in two separate tents.
Thanks so much!

It was nothing short of amazing. There was sooooooo much about the trip and country that amazed us, we were totally impressed. The serengeti lived up to it’s reputation for viewing and the crater – “WOW”!! – at one stage I turned to Syd and said “I think this is what the garden of Eden was like” it is definately one thing that should go on everyone’s bucket list.

Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time on our safari! Our guide, John Lantara was excellent, the accommodations were great, and generally the food was quite good. They gave us far too much food, we were stuffed by the end. I’m surprised our flight from Serengeti could get off the ground 🙂
