About Terry

I grew up in a small Scottish town and I’ve always loved experiencing new places. Even as a child on family holidays, I knew I had an unquenchable thirst for travel. In 2005, I said farewell to my hometown and embarked on a journey that took me through the vibrant streets of Mexico, the rhythms of Cuba, the allure of the Dominican Republic, the cultural tapestry of Turkey, and the sunny shores of Malta. But it was Africa that truly stole my heart. For the past 11 years, I've been immersed in the African continent, visiting as often as I can. I’ve been lucky to meet skilled safari guides, tracked magnificent wildlife and observed nature at it’s finest across Africa. I could talk for hours about the experiences I’ve had and the places I love from standing in genuine awe at Victoria Falls to meeting an Elephant and her calf while walking in Zambia.

Just returned from…

Tanzania

I’ve just returned from a memorable trip to Nyerere National Park, Ruaha National Park, and the serene Mafia Island in Tanzania. I can’t express enough how much I loved it! Unlike the more crowded Tanzanian destinations, Ruaha felt like a genuine wilderness, and it was my third time in Nyerere (It’s so relaxed and it’s such good value)! The experience was nothing short of fantastic – simple and refreshingly unpretentious. For me this type of trip is a hidden gem that deserves more attention.

NEXT DESTINATION IS…

Zimbabwe

Next on my adventure list is Zimbabwe, where I’m excited to dive into exceptional game experiences and meet some of Africa’s finest safari guides. It promises to be a great trip, with the chance to witness incredible wildlife and explore the rugged beauty of this vibrant nation. Zimbabwe’s reputation for top-notch safaris and the unparalleled expertise of its guides has me eagerly anticipating every moment of the trip. Here’s to my upcoming adventure!
