Planning a safari can feel overwhelming, and that’s exactly why I created MYA Safaris—to make everything clear, enjoyable, and truly exciting while I handle the details.
I grew up in the wilds of Zululand and have spent 13 years guiding across Africa and the Amazon. I still get those heart-flutter moments—a perfect sighting, a glowing sunset—and my goal is to create those same unforgettable feelings for you.
Every journey we design is rooted in conservation, respect, and ethical travel. When you explore with me, you’re not just experiencing incredible wildlife—you’re helping protect it, too.
