Tim has been in the tailor-made Africa game for over 7 years now and has lost count of how many amazing trips he has put together. With an ever expanding list of African countries he has visited, the latest being Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, his on the ground knowledge is second to none.
I have just returned from Botswana on an educational trip and experienced a barking-mad sighting in Savute. My first morning in the Savute region of Botswana, ready and excited, we wound our way around the bush and after a short time our eagle eyed guide had spotted one of the world’s most endangered mammals, the African Wild Dog. I thought that this was impawsable, but it was true. We watched for a few minutes but then they are off, going after zebra. We gave chase but the dogs go into thick undergrowth and are out of sight which I thought was ruff. In the first hour of the first morning in Savute I had seen Wild Dog, can it get any better?

From lemur spotting in Madagascar, climbing Mount Kenya or rafting the Zambezi, Mike’s African adventures tend to be active and off-beat. That’s not to say he doesn’t like luxury, a plunge-pool selfie is normally a prerequisite of any trip!
