Description

I am the founder of an AI-powered solutions business focused on designing and developing digital solutions for the safari industry. I create solutions that enhance the guest experience, improve lead generation and enquiry management, and support operational and team efficiency. This comes together in my flagship product, 24/7 AI Safari Concierge, alongside other AI solutions being developed for the industry.

Having been fortunate to visit more than 20 game reserves across Southern Africa, I have seen first-hand the important role that responsible safari tourism can play in supporting conservation, local communities and the protection of Africa’s wild landscapes. This experience, together with my interest in wildlife and conservation, has been a key inspiration behind the work I am now doing within the safari space.

This work sits at the intersection of safari businesses, technology and conservation, with the belief that stronger, more sustainable safari businesses can ultimately contribute to stronger conservation outcomes.

My wildlife-focused social platforms are purpose-driven, with the aim of creating greater awareness and appreciation for Africa’s wildlife and, ultimately, inspiring people to care more deeply about protecting the animals and natural spaces they depend on.

I strongly support Rewilding Africa and its approach to developing community-led National Park Conservancies.
