Newcomer of the Year Award - FYE 2011Exceptional Achievement Award - FYE 2013SummaryHome is where the heart is and it could not be truer for me and the passion I have for Africa.

By building and maintaining relationships with my clients, profiling each individual and combining my work ethic and experience, the journey with Go2Africa continues before, during and after travel. Africa is more than a destination – it is a world of exploration, adventure and an opportunity to change your life. Embrace every moment. ExperienceAs an African Safari Expert at Go2Africa I work with both the business and our travel partners while continuously taking on new destinations to broaden my travel experience and knowledge. We have a diverse portfolio of properties that I sell with confidence, having experienced most of them first hand. I have travelled extensively throughout South and Southern Africa, and also specialise in the Indian Ocean Islands. Recently I added East Africa to my personal portfolio and am currently training on Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
