Olaf Bleibtreu, 39, German - South African From dog-sledding guide in Norway, overlanding in East Africa, sailing all over Europe, to trekking in the Himalayas, anything to get the heart pumping. Extensive knowledge of Africa, guiding and cooking throughout Southern and Eastern Africa. I've run my own Food Truck business in Cape Town and have been a chef on many bush trips. Cooking slow food over the open fire is more than a hobby. I take good food and wine seriously. I'm also a qualified Tour Guide in the southern Cape with emphasis on wine tours :) Paragliding enthusiast since 7 years and avid Paramotor pilot since 2 years. Solo treks in South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, Peru and Ladakh. ´´Join my trip´´ gives me the opportunity to share my love for Africa with fellow travellers and showcase what wonders, and awe-inspiring moments can be experienced here. I feel most alive when partaking in authentic, awe-inspiring moments with other humans. ‘‘Dreams are the fabric of our purpose, enticing us to embrace hardships for the motivation of feeling alive in an otherwise numbing path of least resistance.´´ Olaf Bleibtreu
