Born in Kenya, I spent the first 20 years of my life thoroughly exploring the country before moving to Zimbabwe, then Cape Town and finally to Australia in 2004.
I have always been passionate about African Wildlife, and this naturally led to capturing it in photographs. Early in 2004, I visited the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with my wife and friends and have been back every year since!
A Photographic Diploma course helped hone my photographic skills, as did advice and further study, but time in the field is what has really made me the photographer I am.
Our Safaris into Tanzania's Northern Parks have all been with Easy Travel. Over the past eleven years we have built a very good relationship with them, based on their performance and mutual trust. We now assist them with safaris in Tanzania and even into Kenya. We are in effect the company's contact on the ground, but Easy Travel make and are responsible for all bookings, receiving all payments and providing all the local services required.
Our close association with Easy Travel ensures we and those who accompany us are well cared for, and most importantly, we know and understand how they operate, and can depend on their efficiency. Their Guides are both very knowledgeable and congenial, and the vehicles are well designed and maintained.
Over time we have refined the type of accommodation that best suits our needs, and the needs of those who come with us. The quality of the safaris and the hospitality experienced in the places we've stayed, now makes for a superb all-round experience. So much so that a number of our friends have returned again and again.
We are NOT a Travel Agency and make no pretense to be one. We see ourselves purely assisting people who wish to come with us. We also assist people who would like to travel to East Africa and Zimbabwe on their own. We work closely with Easy Travel to help them promote themselves in any way we can.
TESTIMONIALS
a few kind words
From your last mail I realise you are already planning your next trip but I wanted to thank you especially for the incredible organisation and all the effort you put into making our adventure run so smoothly and for the benefits we all gained from the many special extras and treats.
I am so aware of how much hard work goes into making something seem effortless – all ran without a hitch that the rest of us were aware of but I know that managing a disparate group of people with all their particular likes and dislikes as well as coordinating with lodge management and staff to make it all happen is not easy. You did it all and held it all together so with much outward ease and skill - and we were all the beneficiaries.
With lots of love and special thanks for everything.

Thank you both for a memorable holiday - beyond our wildest imagination!
The wild life exposure was fortuitously a cornucopia but without the meticulous organisation, personalized treatment at all camps, and superb drivers, the experience would not have been as superb as it was. We felt privileged to be present to share the very special recognition you both deservedly received at each setting. Your compliments of the drivers preceding the trip was not exaggerated!
We left with an about turn in sentiment regarding the concept of coming back for a second visit, next time with other family members. We hope you will last at least another few years in your vital role to accommodate this! Thank you also for your personal touches on the journey, despite regular pressures, you are the consummate hosts.

We want to express our thanks for such a wonderful tour which was so well run and organised along with all your experience and knowledge accumulated over the last 14 years!! I look forward to perhaps seeing some of your photography some time. Next years trip seems to be under way already and I am sure it will be a great success again but I would certainly have to invest in a better camera if we went again. I find it hard to imagine that it could be more exciting however.
Many many thanks again to you both for such a great adventure and we would certainly recommend it to all our friends.

I would like to thank you both so much for an AMAZING holiday. I am still overwhelmed by how special my time in the Serengeti was and I think I have left a little piece of my heart there. Your organisation of this trip was unbelievable and I don't know how you do it. So many people with different itineraries and agendas. Thank you.
