What has been your favorite safari experience?

The real beauty of safari is in the small things – dung beetles rolling their prized possession, a flash of colour from a bird streaking through the sky, or finding out a single plant has endless uses. One of my personal highlights? Watching a pack of wild dogs interact – their playful yet intricate social dynamics were fascinating!

What is one place in Africa that's forever in your heart?

Mana Pools in Zimbabwe. I absolutely loved the raw wilderness of Mana Pools. It offers a truly authentic, off-the-beaten-path safari experience. The wildlife is exceptional, and there’s so much to do, from game drives to canoeing and walking safaris.

Top tip for clients / go to travel hack?

At first, you’ll want to snap a photo of every animal – but don’t forget to put the camera down sometimes. Breathe in the wild, soak in the moment, and truly experience the beauty around you. The best safari memories aren’t always the ones captured on camera!
