I was born in South Africa and have travelled around the country from an early age. Before joining Steppes Travel in 2000 I qualified as a safari guide and worked in various lodges. I have since returned to South Africa with my young children; it never to ceases to amaze me.

I believe, as many others do, that you can ”see the world in one country” when travelling in South Africa. Indeed there are few countries in the world that offer the same level of diversity of holidays as South Africa. Sandy beaches, snow-capped mountains, lush vineyards and the Kruger National Park provide a plethora of dramatic scenery. Despite being vast in size, travelling around the country is surprisingly easy, making a combination of the county’s highlights possible and most rewarding.

Watch my video following my latest trip to South Africa and please do get in touch me if you would like more information.
