Travel Writing

We also have a long track record of travel writing and are always eager for new assignments.

Sand dunes near Swakopmund, Namibia

Some of the highest sand dunes in the world, where the Namib Desert meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Elephants at Loisaba, Kenya

Keny’a Laikipia district is a patchwork of dozens of wildlife sanctuaries.

Nxai Pan, Botswana

My cover image is of a baobab tree ‘island’ at the edge of the Kalahari Desert, the site of one of David Livingstone’s expeditions, recorded by painter Thomas Baines.

The Mara Plains, Kenya

Time was when you could freely roam the plains of East Africa. It’s still amazing.

Loita Hills, Kenya

Another area where even now you need to go on foot, or by donkey.

The Kaiser's palace, Bagamoyo, Tanzania

Left as it was in 1890, though I suspect it’s been restored by now.

A travel gallery

A bit of back story

Some snippets from an eventful past.

My Bottle Bank years

Launching Bottle Banks with Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace

Across the Sahara

My career peaked early, so I set off for Africa.

My incarnation as a safari guide

My first business venture taking clients on safari to Botswana’s Okavango Delta.

The house I built in Karen, Kenya

It’s getting a bit over-developed now but it was a lovely place to live.

Thank you for the music
