Meet our safari specialists

Our Africa specialists here at Scott Dunn share nearly fifty years of experience; collectively we have visited Africa over one hundred times! We have lived there, worked in safari lodges and camps, guided and taught, and our knowledge of this beguiling continent is only matched by our passion for all it has to offer. As safari specialists we know the best places to visit, exactly when to visit them and when to avoid them. We hand-pick lodges and camps that offer superb guiding and the best location. We pride ourselves on being perfectionists, finding the right place for the right person. With all the choice, we are here to help guide you, and will create the perfect safari.

I caught the Africa bug as a child when we lived right next to a zoo; I would leave my bedroom window open to hear the lions roaring at night. A few years later our first family safari to Zambia got me hooked – since then I have travelled extensively around Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Madagascar… and of course my beloved Zambia, which became my home when I worked as a safari guide. I love travelling back to Africa to seek out new and exciting destinations to share with my guests.

I first visited Africa aged 18 where I lived and worked in a school on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro; it was a great introduction to Tanzania’s wonderful hospitality and culture. I travelled extensively through the continent for a year seeing and exploring as much as possible. I have been at Scott Dunn for almost 6 years and have been fortunate to return to Africa at least twice a year and still feel there is so much yet to see! The incredible variety of people, animals, landscapes and activities in each country is remarkable and continues to give me a thirst to return. I just love enthusing our guests to see for themselves the uniqueness of this fabulous continent.

I have been creating tailor-made safari holidays for 12 years and have been lucky enough to have travelled to all the countries that we work with. I have also worked at Rekero Camp in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Chelinda Lodge on the Malawi’s Nyika Plateau, so I have seen behind the scenes and logistics of running of a lodge. I'm always asked where my favourite place is, an impossible question to answer, as there are so many favourites!

My first experience of Africa was a family holiday to Kenya age 14 where I truly fell in love with the wildlife and adventurous feeling of being on a safari! Little did I know that I would end up being lucky enough to work on the Africa team at Scott Dunn many years later. Subsequent trips have taken me to South Africa, Tanzania and Rwanda – where my close encounter with the gorillas was quite possibly one of the most amazing experiences of my life (apart from sky-diving in Australia perhaps!). Africa has to be the most amazingly diverse continent on earth with something for everyone, and I can’t wait for my next trip there as I know it will just leave me yearning to discover more of this wonderful land.
