I started my career in the hospitality industry by offering city and township tours in and around the capital city of Namibia, Windhoek over twelve (12) years ago as a freelance tour guide. Studying business administration, and later joining hospitality short courses, I ventured into offering tours and safaris around Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe to a vast number of international student travellers. I have thus worked with university groups (under-and-post grads), interns, volunteers, and mainstream travellers for over twelve (12) years. I have experience in working with travellers of all ages from all walks of life, and I've also worked with various US-based universities, colleges and have long standing service-level agreements with them. I do have extensive travel experience, having visited the United States, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe numerous times, and having lived in Scandinavia as well. I am extremely passionate about adventure travel, nature, wildlife, conservation and cultural history. I conduct one day and multi -day tours relating to geology, wildlife viewing and conservation, topography, archaeology, history, site seeing, adventure, and cultural interactive experiences. All my tours can be customized upon request I've been working in the tourism space in Southern Africa for well over a decade, and thus possess the necessary skillset in assisting travellers with any planning pertaining to their Southern African vacations, guiding, consulting, and bookings. Although most of my safaris tend to be in and around Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, I am well informed and familiar with the entire Southern African region. I am not a truck driver and can only hire an additional driver for large group (over 12 people) tours which require the use of a overland/safari truck.

The first Europeans to visit the region arrived in 1851. The name Etosha is derived from an Oshindonga word meaning 'Great White Place. ' Mammals that are common to Etosha National Park include the African bush elephant, the southern white rhino, the southwestern black rhino, the African buffalo, the Angolan giraffe, the southwest African lion, the African leopard, the South African cheetah, servals, caracals, African wildcats, black footed cats, black backed jackals, Cape foxes, brown hyenas, spotted hyenas, a variety of mongooses, meerkats, warthogs, zebras, hartebeests, wildebeests, and common elands, among many other species.
