MyJourney

In a world of over-sharing across a media maze, I’ll use this excuse to keep things brief!

I am a passionate naturalist. It is this passion combined with over 28 years of wilderness experience that allows me to lead life-changing safaris to many corners of our planet.

Born and bred at the foot of Africa, I’ve lived and worked in some of Africa’s most incredible wildlife-rich regions from Zululand to the Serengeti. The privilege of raising my family in some of these wild places and rediscovering the natural world through their eyes stands out. Aside from guiding, time has been spent managing safari lodges and wildlife concessions and engaging with rural communities.

Formally educated, my further growth has been through authentic, natural learning from the wilderness itself and other passionate and knowledgeable people. For most of my professional safari life I have been involved in the development of other safari guides in Africa and further afield in Brazil, Peru and India. The challenge and the fun of working with such a diverse and amazing set of people is a strong driver. I continue to work with guides across the world (see this work and stories at www.silversengi.com).

GuidedSafaris

I guide premium safaris all across Africa and other wild spaces of the world. A new curiosity about the wildlife and yourself will awaken. Guide-inspired, often unscripted, but self-discovered. This is where your dreams and sense of wonder come alive. You will find your own voice in the wilderness.

  • Explore with the best – lodges, aircraft and people
  • Go behind the scenes in some of Africa’s foremost conservation endeavours
  • Ethical and responsible
  • Safety built in to every step of the journey

TheArt of the Safari

A well-crafted safari will ensure that your preferred comforts are catered for without sacrificing the need for fun and adventure (or the other way around!). Whether it’s excitement or solitude and relaxation you search for, Africa has it all. A great safari will help you rediscover your natural rhythm, broaden your perspectives and sharpen your whit!

It is a rich sensory experience. Silently walking forested trails in search of gorillas in the Congo. Floating down a clear papyrus stream in the Okavango in the midst of a huge African rainstorm. Sitting in silence at a log pile blind waiting for thirsty elephants to come and drink. Standing on a mountain top with the mighty Verreaux’s Eagle staring down her wingtips at you. 

Sitting around the crackling fire of a Maasai home listening to stories from another world. Holding on to the boat rails miles offshore in search of mighty albatross. The alluring drift of wild jasmine in the twilight air ahead of the sunset safari.

Discover, explore, embark on a journey for the fun of it – the self-discovery comes on its own!
