I've spent the better part of two decades chasing the golden hour across the African continent — from the Serengeti's endless plains to the Okavango's mirror-still channels. What started as a gap year adventure became a calling. I believe great travel isn't about checking boxes; it's about coming home changed.
My specialty is crafting safaris that feel utterly personal — where the game drives are timed to light, the camps are chosen for silence, and every detail reflects who my clients actually are. I work with a small roster of clients each year and treat every itinerary like a love letter to a destination.
When I'm not planning trips, I'm on them. Last season I spent three weeks in Namibia scouting new desert camps. Before that, Rwanda for gorilla trekking research. My knowledge is earned on the ground, not behind a desk.
