After six years working at Rhino Africa Safaris the time has come for me to move on.

Friday the 30th of May will be my last day. Just thinking about it makes me sad and depressed. Leaving this family behind is one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do. At the same time I’m also excited (and scared) for what the future holds. If the next six years are even close to as good as the previous, I’m in for some good times.

At ten years old, Rhino Africa is undoubtedly the leading safari company in Southern Africa. When I joined in 2008 we were thirty people working in a small office in Gardens. Now we’re over a hundred and thirty, we take up four floors of an office building in Gardens, have a satellite office in London and we have French, German, Portuguese and Spanish divisions.

While the company has undergone great changes over the past few years, so have I. I was dating the wonderful Tessa back when I started and since then I proposed to and married her. Thanks to this amazing company I got to take her on trips to some of the most beautiful parts of Africa and to stay in some of the top lodges and hotels, trailer parks and camping from here on out! No one could ask for a better company to work for. When my father got terminal cancer, our CEO David Ryan helped send my parents to East Africa to see the Great Migration, the last thing on dads bucket list. I’m going to dearly miss everyone here, what an amazing bunch of people, the biggest thank you to each and every one of you.

As for what I’ll do next? Which way is the wind blowing?
