My travels
Travel Things I Want To Do Before I Die
- A Mokoro safari in the Okavango Delta
- Walk with Mountain Gorillas
- Trek across the Mongolian Steppe
- Go in search of Snow Leopards in the Himalayas
- Go kayaking along the Zambezi River
Best Moments
- Being surrounded by Elephants while on a Bush Walk with guests - the greatest, most intense feeling I have ever had
- Running through the spray of Iquazu Falls while being chased by a Coati for my ice cream
- Spoor tracking a Leopard for 2 hours before eventually finding it and being able to show my guests
- Doing a helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta
Toughest Travel Moment
- Getting my vehicle stuck in an Aardvark hole in the middle of the night whilst on an anti-poaching patrol by myself - it took a lot of swearing and innovative thinking to get out
Weirdest Travel Moment
- Throwing a beer at a Honey Badger as it chased me out of my kitchen and across my patio

The Big Five: What, Why and Where?
The Big Five… that classic safari term which every traveller knows. The majestic lion, the stoic elephant, the cumbersome rhino, the grumpy buffalo and the elusive leopard. But does anyone know why those particular five animals are what constitutes 'The Big Five'?
