My journey began at just 15 years old, when I delivered my very first wildlife presentation. Growing up in North London, I was captivated by the natural world from an early age. It wasn’t enough for me to simply keep pets; I wanted to see animals in their natural environments, understand their behaviour, and experience the beauty of nature first-hand.

This fascination inspired me to spend my life traveling across the globe, visiting countries I had only dreamed of as a child. Along the way, I’ve encountered extraordinary wildlife, discovered breathtaking landscapes, and met incredible communities whose kindness and knowledge have shaped my understanding of the world.

Running since 1997, Safari Wildlife Experience has been more than a business — it has been my life’s work. I’ve had the privilege of sharing my passion with schools, events, organisations, and families, offering engaging, educational wildlife presentations that aim to inspire curiosity, respect, and a love for nature.

I am deeply grateful for the continued support of my clients, especially the many who return year after year. Their trust has allowed me to keep doing what I love: bringing people closer to wildlife and creating memorable experiences that spark wonder in audiences of all ages.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I look forward to sharing the magic of the natural world with.
