- 19 years' Experience in Travel
Travel for me started from a very young age, living in South-East Asia before moving back to Europe. My parents were keen travelers and always took my sister and I along, often to remote and largely unexplored places.
My first taste of Africa came at the age of 5 and I was hooked instantly. From the wildlife, to the people and landscapes, it's a fascinating continent and one that I will never get tired of visiting. Since then I have traveled throughout Africa and lived in Zambia for 2 years, working at a conservation project and lodge. It is after this point that I moved into the travel industry to share my passion for this continent.

My Favorite Scott Dunn Hotels and Tours

![Limitless Zambia and Madagascar]()
VIEW TOURLimitless Zambia and Madagascar
Zambia is one of the best wildlife destinations in Africa, with small camps, excellent guides and fewer tourists. Combine this with remote Miavana and you have an itinerary that's hard to beat -
![Singita Lebombo Lodge]()

Set in a private concession in northern Kruger, this is a stunning lodge away from the busy Kruger park or frequently visited Sabi Sands - one of the best options for the Kruger area in my opinion. -

If you want a camp with a stunning setting, amazing game viewing, great service and simple a "wow" factor, this is it.
