life changing wildlife experiences
ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Zimbabwe and South Africa, I have been involved in planning, leading and operating safaris in Southern and East Africa for 28 years. My personal knowledge of safaris is unmatched with an unparalleled network of superior guides, camps, lodges, hotels and service personnel on the ground. My clients range from individuals, families and honeymoon couples looking for a once in a life-time safari, to Hollywood celebrities and "Africa-Junkies"who just can't get enough safari. My ability to understand peoples' needs and passions allow me to create the perfect safari, each one with its own special characteristics that are unique to each client. I look forward to sharing my passion.
How to plan
Safaris are life-changing for those fortunate enough to experience one. Veteran travelers will return saying it was by far the best trip they have ever taken. The deafening sound of a lion's roar at night, the haunting cry of the African fish eagle over the Zambezi River or the unexpected tears when leaving a safari camp because the guides and staff became your new best friends in your short stay. It's hard to know what will move you the most, but something will....many things will. This is the safari legacy.
We all have different interests, travel styles and budgets so all safaris are tailored around these requirements. I don't believe budget should ever be a reason not to experience the wonders of an African safari. There is the right match for everyone. Pricing is fair and transparent but I will not compromise on quality. You can expect only the very best guides, camps, lodges and hotels regardless of your budget.
Call or schedule a time to speak one on one. The options are limitless and a good initial conversation will get us headed in the right direction.
What's different?
01
Premier Guides
Our guides have a reputation for being the best in the business. Experts in their fields, friendly and interesting, a good guide will bring the most out of every excursion while creating lifelong memories.
03
Experience Matters
I escorted my first safari in 1995 and have served the travel needs of discerning adventurers for 3 decades. In this time I have become trusted partners of my clients, their family and friends. I do not advertise, my only source of marketing comes from satisfied clients who use me time and again or refer me to others.
02
24/7 Support
From the moment you start planning your safari, during the trip and when you return, you are in the hands of a full team of professionals who will get it right the first time and then be available 24/7 during your trip in the event of any unforeseen circumstances. This leaves you to just relax and enjoy your safari.
04
Responsible Tourism
Responsible and sustainable tourism should be more than just a phrase - it has to be an ongoing and tangible commitment to balancing tourism with the upliftment of local communities and preservation of the natural environment. African Aura Safaris actively supports camps and lodges whose business models reflect this commitment.
