About me

Professional Tour Guide
I am an all round adventurer with years of experience in the outdoor space.

My introduction to hiking and the love for nature happened at the early age of five when he started joining his father on fishing trips to the coastal regions of the Cape of Good Hope section within the Table Mountain National Park. This included hiking through the fynbos to reach fishing spots at the water’s edge. I remember playing in the rock pools of the intertidal zones as well as catching “klip vissies” (small rock fish) there.

In later years I went on to join a swimming club, become a water polo player and a lifeguard. The aquatic activities further expanded his love for the ocean. In fact, I spent over 25 years of my life volunteering as a beach lifeguard along the False Bay coast, as well as volunteering as a crew leader on the Cape Town Helicopter Surf Rescue service.

Soon after getting married, my wife Bridget and I embarked on an extended backpacking venture across Europe and the Middle East. Over time we have been fortunate to travel to and experience many different countries around the world (

It is this love for nature, the outdoors, hiking and travel that made for perfect ingredients to become a Cultural Guide, an Overnight Off Trail Mountain and Adventure Guide, and to register a Tour Operator business called Tusk Adventures & Tours.
