Hello, I’m Ernest, a licensed level 4 culture site tour guide with a National Senior Certificate. Based in Durban, I'm 49 years old and have more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, as well as ten years of experience guiding a wide range of travellers. I have worked with conference guests needing short, insightful tours to cruise passengers eager for cultural and safari experiences. I'm happy to design each tour to suit your needs, time and interests. Cultural experiences are at the heart of my guiding style. I love offering guests the chance to connect to the people, traditions and stories of South Africa. I also lead “building experience” tours focused on bird watching in richly diverse forests, as well as adventure outings like hikes to the remarkable Raster Caves. For those for history enthusiasts or even researchers, I offer battlefield tours tailored which delve into the region’s wartime past. Trust me to provide a smooth, informative and memorable experience. My goal is to leave every guest with a deeper appreciation of this vibrant, complex region. Let me show you a side of South Africa that’s rich in nature, history and heart!
