Having held a senior IT portfolio with a major financial corporation, John's passion and knowledge of the Kruger National Park inspired him to make a drastic career change. Now he can share the 20 years of interest in conservation and the behaviour of mammals within the Kruger National Park with his guests.

John completed a THETA accredited course which qualified him as a Tourist Guide for the Kruger Park and surrounding areas. He has a genuine concern for the comfort and enjoyment of his guests, coupled with a talent for preparing delicious meals in the bush. Together with his wife, Ann, who recently completed THETA accreditation, they endeavour to ensure that the visitor to the Kruger National Park leaves South Africa having enjoyed a ‘true wildlife’ experience in bushveld comfort.

Safaris
Safaris are mostly conducted in the more tranquil and ‘true wildlife' areas of the central and northern parts of the Kruger National Park with the last night (depending on Safari duration) in the popular southern region. We also specialise in private fully inclusive Day Safaris for guests staying outside the Park.

Our tours are for one private group from a minimum of two to a maximum of six guests in each vehicle, ensuring a totally personalised wildlife experience. Scenic drives are included in our longer Microbus Safaris visiting the Mpumalanga highlights including Pilgrim's Rest, God's Window, Wonder View, The Pinnacle and Blyde River Canyon.

Once in the Kruger National Park, all the game drives plus a Sunset Game Drive in an open vehicle with a Kruger National Park Ranger are included. A torch and quality binoculars will be provided to guests for the duration of the Safari, plus free wildlife literature.

Safaris can be tailor made for a group of clients, including the option of a hot air balloon flight over the spectacular Sabie River Valley.
