Originally from the UK and living in Cape Town, I have been travelling and writing for more than two decades; starting out as a safari and overland tour leader on trips across Africa and the Middle East and then as a guidebook author and travel writer. I am a renowned expert on African countries and cities, from Cape Town to Cairo, and know the safari industry inside out. Iām also experienced in writing about the Caribbean and intimately know more than 20 islands from Anguilla to Trinidad. To date, I have written and contributed to more than 70 guidebooks for publishers including Footprint, Rough Guides, DK Eyewitness and Bradt, and regularly contribute to numerous travel and product magazines, blogs and websites.
