Hope Tamu Dudley

My background

My love for Africa started as a child, listening to my parents’ stories of their travels around the continent. At age 18 I set off to make my own stories, which eventually led me to safari guiding across Southern Africa. To adventures such as leading walking trails in the Kruger National Park, guiding motorcycle tours through Namibia, and more.

 

Something about safari life makes you forget all your sorrows and feel as if you had drunk half a bottle of champagne, bubbling over with heartfelt gratitude for being alive

Over the years, I’ve travelled throughout Africa with family, students, and guests, creating lifelong memories. I’ll never forget when my little sister first saw a lion. The joy on her face as she tugged at my arm, pointed at the lion, and whispered “Simba” will stay with me forever. It's these special, heart-warming events that make Africa so unique – the wildlife, the landscapes, and the people all come together to create moments that touch the soul.

 

My mission is to create these memorable experiences for my clients. I believe everyone deserves memories that will last a lifetime – stories to tell at dinner parties, around campfires, and to future generations. Whether it’s walking with gentle giants, soaring over endless plains, or stargazing under Africa’s unparalleled night sky, I am dedicated to curating personalised, unforgettable holidays.
