As a senior Africa Travel Expert, I bring a unique blend of international experience and a deep-rooted passion for the African continent to my role. Born in Germany and raised in Morocco from the age of 11, I developed an early appreciation for diverse cultures and landscapes. My wanderlust led me on a transformative two-year solo journey around the world, during which I fell in love with the breathtaking beauty and rich tapestry of experiences that Africa offers. This personal odyssey ignited a lifelong dedication to exploring and sharing the wonders of the continent.
Today, I channel my extensive knowledge, cultural insights, and unwavering enthusiasm into crafting personalized adventures

My favorite tour with Scott Dunn is the Sensational Sahara Serenity, as the change of scenery is like visiting four countries at the same time. -

Kenya is without a doubt the home of the safari! Northern Kenya has endemic species that can only be seen there, and if you're a fan of the endangered black rhino this is the place to see them. -
