Since growing up on a game farm in Zimbabwe Dan developed an insatiable appetite to learn more about the wilderness areas of Africa and the wildlife that inhabits them. This has naturally evolved into a finely tuned ability to be able to communicate this passion and understanding to guests lucky enough to travel with him. Despite his relative youth, Dan has completed his guide certifications across South Africa, Kenya and his native Zimbabwe. He now has an amazing +15 years experience across the continent in the process.

​

When he is not guiding private clients around Kenya, you will find him hanging out with Giza, the resident melanistic (black) leopard in Laikipia Wilderness Camp, where he is the resident professional guide. Among the guiding  fraternity and those in the know, it is widely acknowledged that the process to become a fully qualified guide in Zimbabwe is more rigorous than anywhere else. As important as qualifications are, it is the intangible nature of personality that separates the good from the great. And it is here where Dan shines brighter than many. In a world where egos can tend to inflate themselves, Dan’s humility and customer focused approach is evident immediately and forms the foundation for a safari of the highest standard.
