About me

I am the founder of Traversing Africa, an online travel company offering an unparalleled service for arranging bespoke trips to Africa. We have identified a niche in the travel market for families wanting to explore Africa with children in tow without having to compromise on luxury or cut back on their experiences but at the same time ensuring a safe, enjoyable and immersive trip for all members. The motive for this stemmed from travelling with my son from a young age and understanding the degree of knowledge and depth of planning required to curate such a trip. After working in the industry for over 2 decades I also came to the realisation that offering cookie-cutter itineraries lacking individuality is not the way I want you and your family to encounter Africa, be it on a first time trip or one of many. My main vision when Traversing Africa was conceived was that I wanted to be an architect in providing customised, personal, gratifying and life-enriching journeys to Africa to those of you who desire the same. I am active and love to try everything at least once! I am a travel blogger, animal lover and have a thing for VW beetles and vans! I prefer to be in flip-flops and am equally happy on a beach or in the bush!
