About the author

Raised and educated in England, after graduation I set off for Africa as part of an Operation Raleigh Expedition. Post expedition I worked as an Anti-Poaching Scout in Hwange, Zimbabwe and then as an Environmental Educator with the Wildlife Society of South Africa before returning to train as a Learner Professional Hunter / Guide in the Gwayi Valley. Later I moved to Kenya where I set up the Africa 4x4 Cafe: a web-based resource promoting Self-Drive 4x4 Safaris in East and Southern Africa. It also acted as a marketplace for post-expedition vehicles stranded in Africa and elsewhere. I will be pleased to share my knowledge and experience with those of you who are about to embark on what is sure to be the "experience of a lifetime". Doing an overland safari in Africa, especially if inexperienced and unsupported, may be a bit daunting, and in fact this may even be the reason that your dream never gets off the ground, but with my help, you won't have to worry. I'll help you source, value & purchase an appropriate vehicle; aid with the paperwork: transfer of logbook, insurance, carnet etc. and then help plan your ultimate overland adventure. Or if you just want advice in buying or selling a 4x4 in Africa then contact me and I'll be happy to help you.
