National Guide
English, Afrikaans, Dutch, Flemish
I have been guiding since 2003, starting off to guide small groups through Eastern South Africa, having done all my courses through STTI/Gold Reef Guides.
After two years I became a National Guide and have since then always remained loyal to Tourvest DCM who have provided me with 14d overland tours for Dutch, English and Flemish speaking guests on coaches on a monthly basis. I have also worked with Thompsons Tours, Fairfields and Akilanga as a freelance guide.
I have taken tourgroups from Ireland, England, Netherlands, USA and Scandinavia up to 60 guests all over South Africa, organizing additional side excursions and taking care of daily hiccups, before they become a problem.
During World Cup 2010, I was entrusted with the corporate market of Coca Cola and Adidas being the main sponsors of the event, by taking their VIPS on short stay tours through South Africa.
I have specialized through additional courses in the birdlife and wildlife of the Kruger National Park and take short stay tourgroups into the Kruger being a driver/guide.
I have been introduced to regular short tours as a driver/guide for the Islamic market with small tourgroups arriving from Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, whereby I am sensitive and accommodating towards different cultural habits and lifestyles.
I am very interested in the social, political history of South Africa and all its citizens and truly believe in the Rainbow Nation that we proudly are growing in to be.
My company is African Memories Safaris and Daytours and I will take guests on daytrips in my fully licensed and comfortable Mercedes Vito for specialized private day tours.
