I was very fortunate to be introduced to nature and traveling from a very young age, and have always dreamed about working in the bush, islands, ski resorts and traveling in general. After a 12 year career of doing admin and accounting at medical aid companies, I finally followed through by first becoming a Scuba Dive Master and Guide working in Mozambique, and then moving on to becoming a Nature Guide, working at 5* Safari Lodges for about 6 years. While interacting with guests, my interests grew and I decided to further my studies and become a Cultural Guide. I absolutely love my job, and am passionate about sharing this with travelers from all walks of life.
Saving our Vultures Educational
Vultures face multiple man-made threats, including but not limited to poisoning, power line collisions and electrocutions, direct harvesting for cultural beliefs, and ever decreasing foraging ranges. Some vulture species are threatened with possible extinction within our lifetime unless we can curb the ongoing downward spiral now!
