For over two decades, I have visited hundreds of exclusive safari lodges, island resorts and city hotels throughout the African continent and its shores. I’m constantly seeking hidden gems and building meaningful relationships with safari guides and concierges. That, coupled with my love for Africa - and the perfect backdrop it provides - has allowed me to build up an enviable reputation amongst discerning travellers.
I believe in escaping from the madness of the world in order to connect with yourself, with your friends, family and with the region you are travelling to. When travelling in Africa, be open minded and know that wildlife regions are positively impacted with the right type of tourism. Anyone can sell a trip to Africa but only a few can create magic on the ground - be sure to not be fooled by false marketing.
My first love has always been the people and the wilderness of Africa - I have a strong interest in conservation and how everyone has a role to play in the preservation of this beautiful world. My passion - along with my extensive experience in lodge operations, as well as knowing the in’s and out’s of travel - allows me to to offer special and immersive journeys across this extraordinary continent.
I believe that travel not only gives us the opportunity to explore new regions and countries, but it serves to better our personal growth. It helps us to get outside of our comfort zone, as well as recharge our emotional bank balance with the world around us and our loved ones.
A native South African born and bred in the Stellenbosch wine lands, Pieter is first and foremost a proud father and husband. For pleasure he reads, writes and spends time in the mountains or on his bike. When he is not enjoying living in Cape Town, he likes to explore places old and new, and has worked and traveled all over the world, with Spain, Peru and Austria places that hold specific significance.
There are travellers and there are tourists. Travelers connect deeply with their destination, and take a bit of the destination with them in their heart. Travelers stay longer, ask more questions and like to be outside of their comfort zone. Pieter also believes there are places of natural energy in the world, and he is constantly looking to connect to that flow.
I have two great loves – my family and travelling. Travelling both locally and internationally has been a privilege and is one not many South Africans get to experience. Coming from a small village in the winelands I never imagined the places this industry would take me. Sharing this love with my family brings me so much joy. Locally, we love the Eastern Cape, the West Coast regions, local favourites like Hermanus, Cederberg and Garden Route.A must on any of our trips is to try the food, wine and hanging out with locals.We love meeting new people and making friends from around the world, exposing ourselves to different cultures and perspectives.I love spending my free time with hubby, our daughter and puppy, having little dance parties in our living room.
Making deep connections with the places I see. Going beyond the superficial and inquire deeper with the people I meet and allowing my surroundings to influence me in a more meaningful way.
My love for Africa and wildlife conservation developed while growing up, initially on a farm in the Western Province of South Africa, and later, in the unparalleled beauty of Cape Town. For the last 25 years I’ve lived in London, Hong Kong and now New York, working in Broadcast Media. During that time I travelled extensively, particularly across Africa, and felt compelled to find a way to reconnect with the continent that I love so much. I am delighted to share the enrichment that travel to Africa has afforded me personally, with those seeking to discover, explore and cherish Africa in a similar way.
Travel is a privilege, and an essential part of our personal educational and life journey. Whether your goal is simply to recharge and reconnect with loved ones or to find a new perspective, allow yourself to go with the flow and be surprised by what the experience can teach you, and don't sweat the small stuff. The little stresses of travel often provide the laughter of our memories.
My childhood dream was to write for National Geographic – it was a way I thought I could combine my love of travel and the environment. Although that particular dream did not come true, I have enjoyed wonderful journeys travelling in Southern Africa, Europe, Asia and the Americas. However, I think I may have left the best until last, as every day I am discovering more of Africa I want to explore. Travelling, and my studies in Environmental Science, have heightened my awareness of our fragile world and I am committed to making whatever difference I can to preserve our world.
I travel to immerse myself in the experience of travel, to be grateful for the opportunity and best of all, to share the special places and moments with people who I know will tread gently and embrace the whole journey – whatever happens!
