SAFARIS
Personally Guided
Tailor-made journeys through Africa,
shaped around your interests, your pace
and the way you want to experience the wild.
MORE THAN A SAFARI
A safari can be about seeing the Big Five. But it can also be about following the tracks of a Leopard, watching Elephants change their behaviour as the light fades, finding a tiny bird hidden in the canopy, or simply sitting quietly and letting the landscape unfold around you.
With Roaring Skies, every journey is shaped around what interests you.
With the knowledge and experience to notice more, understand the bigger picture and follow where the day takes us.
Wildlife. Birds. Behaviour. Landscapes. The moments in between.
Your africa. your way.
Every traveller sees Africa differently. Some come for big mammals, others for birds, photography, walking safaris or for climbing Africa’s highest peaks. Others want to understand the people, cultures and landscapes that make each country unique.
Your journey can follow one passion. Or bring several together.
From iconic predators to the smallest details, experience wildlife beyond the sighting, understanding behaviour, relationships and the ecosystems that shape them.
WILDLIFE & BEHAVIOUR
Photograph more than wildlife. Take time to work with light, landscapes and moments, while discovering the people, cultures and stories that give each place its character.
PHOTOGRAPHY & PLACEs
Look beyond the obvious. From colourful specialists to elusive forest species, discover Africa's extraordinary birdlife while understanding the habitats, landscapes and ecosystems that sustain it.
BIRDS & ECOSYSTEMS
Leave the vehicle behind and experience Africa on foot. From walking safaris and forest trails to high-altitude expeditions and remote mountain wilderness.
WALKING, MOUNTAINS, WILDERNESS
And often, the most memorable journeys combine several of them.
THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE GUIDING
A great safari guide does more than find animals.
Years spent guiding across East and Southern Africa have taught me to look beyond the obvious. To read behaviour, understand ecosystems, recognise the details others might miss and know when to slow down.
Whether we're following predators across open plains, searching a forest canopy for a rare bird, walking through the wilderness or sitting quietly and watch a sunset, my role is to help you understand what you're seeing, and give you the freedom to experience it your way.
JOURNEYS ACROSS AFRICA
From the open plains of East Africa to the forests, mountains and wilderness of the south, each region offers a completely different way of experiencing the continent.
I work with a trusted network of camps, lodges and local partners, allowing us to
combine destinations and experiences into a journey that fits you.
East africa
Endless plains, dramatic landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
From classic safari country to quieter, lesser-known wilderness, East Africa offers some of the continent's most remarkable wildlife experiences. With opportunities for walking, photography, birding and cultural encounters along the way. And large herds of big mammals are never far away!
Primates & Rainforest
Misty forests, ancient mountains and some of
Africa's most extraordinary ecosystems.
From great apes and forest specialists to volcanic landscapes and extraordinary birdlife, these journeys reveal a very different side of Africa. Further into the continent, lowland rainforests, vast river systems and the largely untouched ecosystems of the Congo Basin offer some of the world's most remote wilderness experiences. The real adventure awaits!
Southern africa
Diverse wilderness and exceptional opportunities for walking safaris.
From vast wilderness areas to wild rivers, dramatic mountains and extraordinary birding, Southern Africa offers incredible variety. Enjoy immersive walking safaris, hiking, landscape photography and rich cultural encounters along the way. Plus, exceptional predator watching is never far away!
And beyond . . .
Journeys shaped around the places, interests and experiences that matter to you.
How your journey takes shape
THE PROCESS
Every journey begins with a conversation. From the first idea to the moment you depart,
we shape the experience together — while I take care of the details behind the scenes.
01
GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
Every journey starts with a conversation.
We begin with a relaxed personal consultation, in person or online,
to understand how you like to travel,
what interests you, and what you
hope to experience in Africa.
02
DESIGN YOUR JOURNEY
From there, I start putting the pieces together.
I research, connect and shape the journey around you, often presenting different ideas and routes so we can find the right balance of experiences, places and travel pace.
03
REFINE IT TOGETHER
Your journey is a conversation,
not a finished package
We discuss the proposals together, adjust the details, combine ideas and refine the itinerary until it feels right for you. Together, we create an unforgettable African safari.
04
MAKE IT REAL
Once everything is agreed, I take care of all the arrangements.
Your deposit secures the journey and allows me to confirm camps, lodges, guides and other arrangements.
From there, I take care of the details leading up to your departure.
Every journey is individually priced according to its destination, duration,
accommodation, activities and level of private guiding.
LET'S START WITH A CONVERSATION
Every journey begins with an idea. Perhaps there is a place you've always wanted to see, a species you've dreamed of encountering, an ecosystem you've wanted to explore. Or simply a feeling you're looking for . . .
