About me

I have been in a love affair with South Africa since I first visited the country in 2008 on a Gap Year, coaching sports in the townships of Port Elizabeth. Since then I have been in a long and adventurous love affair with the country.

South Africa captured my soul and so for the past 12 years I have regularly returned to the country I fell in love with over a decade ago.

Over the years I have travelled extensively across Southern and East Africa. From overlanding adventures, to competitive races across the continent, I have seen and experienced a wealth of craziness.

With my local knowledge of South Africa and Event Management background, I set off on a quest to create an adventure company that will give guests a taste of Africa. By providing a sense of security, I hope to empower guests with the confidence and freedom to explore the beautiful and diverse landscapes South Africa has to offer, and look beyond the danger element the country has been plagued with. South Africa has a turbulent history, but I like to think it has so much more to offer.

With my determination to live a life I love and continuous rebellion against how society dictates you should live, selling your soul to a 9 to 5 desk job, I used this and my passion for travel as the driving force behind setting up my own adventure travel company.

And so in 2019, ROGUE TRIP was born.
