About me! I am known as Suki by everyone. I was fortunate to grow up in and around National Parks in South Africa. From there my love for nature, and animals, gaining as much knowledge as possible about our continent meeting people from all avenues. I absolutely love driving endless hours exploring and for this reason, I joined Overlanding and have been traveling extensively throughout Southern and East Africa. I would like to share my knowledge and experience with like-minded people that enjoy traveling!

Details about the accommodation: We will spend the majority of the time camping, as I find this the best way to experience the African bush. I know well how rewarding it is to plump down on a bed after a long hot shower after 3 to 5 days of camping. In saying that, camping should never be uncomfortable, therefore it's important to always have enough warm clothes and proper sleeping bags. Ready for the adventure? Join me now!
