I grew up in the Transkei, along South Africa’s eastern coastline. It was there that I developed a keen interest in wildlife. In 1999 I moved to northern Botswana and joined Wilderness Safaris as a field guide. Today I lead photographic safaris for Wilderness Safaris and spend around 300 days a year in the Okavango Delta and Linyanti region.

I am very interested in digital photography and my work has been published in magazines such as Africa Geographic, Africa Birds and Birding and National Geographic Kids Magazine. Whilst leading safaris I always try to help get the most out of wildlife viewing opportunities by combining my experience of animal behaviour with a strong sense of anticipation.

In Botswana, I am actively involved in monitoring lion populations in the private concession areas that are operated by Wilderness Safaris. I also contribute regular items of interest to the unusual sightings section of Wilderness Safaris website.

I am a competent birder and have a particular interest in birds of prey.

Southern Africa is an extremely rich area for wildlife, with an amazing diversity of habitats and species and I have visited many of the region's wild places. I have also been fortunate enough to travel abroad in search of wildlife, and have visited Alaska, the Galapagos islands, and India over the past few years.

I combine my strong interest in photography with my passion for wildlife and wild places and spend much of my free time in remote locations.
