My background

My passion for travel started at a young age, splitting my holidays between my two homeland countries, France and England. Fast forward to 2018, after exploring over 20 countries, I finally set foot on the African continent for the first time—an experience that changed everything. My heart was not prepared for such a beautiful discovery!

Whether you are a nature and wildlife lover or not, Africa cannot disappoint. The spectacles of Eastern and Southern Africa are unparalleled and endlessly varied. From the golden plains of the Masai Mara, where I watched a cheetah teach her cubs to hunt in the early morning light, to an unforgettable afternoon in the Okavango Delta, where an elephant wandered past the edge of the pool just meters away as I stood in the water—each moment in the wild is filled with awe.

Beyond the bush, Africa’s cities pulse with energy and charm. I’ve wandered the vibrant streets of Cape Town, from the colourful houses of Bo-Kaap to the rugged cliffs of Cape Point, tasting the city’s world-class food and soaking in its coastal beauty. Every journey across this continent offers a new story, a new connection, and a deepening love for its people, landscapes, and wildlife.

Now, as part of Wilderness Journeys, I’m excited to share my knowledge and passion, crafting extraordinary safaris that bring these unforgettable moments to life for you.
