I have spent more than 30 years in the travel industry, and every moment has deepened my love for the work I do. As an East African mother of a boy and a girl, I've always felt a profound responsibility to share the beauty, diversity, and soul of my home, Africa! This land of contrasting landscapes, wildlife, and cultures deserves to be seen, understood and protected. Helping others experience Africa's wonder has always given me so much joy, and I hope to continue inspiring others to explore responsibly.

Favourite Travel Memory
In 2015, while Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda, we walked in on the Silverback Gorilla mating with one of the young females in his group. And she had a young one with her the whole time! What was so fascinating was how gentle the Silverback was with the baby Gorilla, who kept interrupting them! The similarity to human beings was uncanny!
