“‘What do you dream about?’, this is the first thing I ask you when you contact me about guiding you on a safari or planning a safari for you. We start a journey together, from dream to real-life. A safari is personal, in planning a safari the starting point is you and everything is built around you. To do so, I need to know what happens when you close your eyes and picture your safari, what happens when the scene that bursts out of your imagination unfolds; what do you see then?
A safari has to fit you, you should feel comfortable in it, as in your own shirt. We should look at the many fabrics, check all the colours, play with the details, the buttons, the collars, the buttonholes, the cuffs. Measure the length and size to your needs. But more than anything we need to understand how you want to feel in it.
I am the one who helps you choose what best fits you. The one who is there to understand your style and bring to surface, the details that will make the difference for you. The one that pieces all the things you desire together, creating a outstanding experience that will not be forgotten. A safari has no must, except one, opening ourselves to nature, and learn again to be nature.”
