Hanging out in Volcanoes National Park Rwanda

"I hope you have an experience that alters the course of your life, because after Africa nothing has ever been the same."  Suzanne Evans

My first visit to Africa was to Accra, Ghana in October 1998 and since that trip my life has not been the same.  I've been to Africa 25+ times to both East and West Africa which included trips where I arranged travel for and escorted groups ranging from 15-750.  In 2003 in Abuja, Nigeria I had the privilege of working with the White House travel team coordinating the group I was working with on their arrival with the departure of the White House delegation after President Bush's speech at the luncheon they all were attending.  

I work with individuals looking for adventures of a lifetime and that elusive once in a lifetime adventure.   

I've also spent my personal time in Africa where I've traveled with friends but also by myself.  I've hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro twice via the Marangu and Machame routes, trekked with the Gorillas in Rwanda, bungee jumped in Uganda, numerous safaris and, enjoyed the beaches and culture of Zanzibar.

Every trip for me to Africa is an adventure of a lifetime because it's never ground hogs day.  Every day brings something new and different.  In 2015-16 I enjoyed my once in a lifetime adventure, spending 6 days on safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, seeing Africa's Big Five on Christmas day 2015, hiking Mount Kilimanjaro reaching the summit on January 1, 2016 and then relaxing for 4 days in Zanzibar. 

I work with companies and organizations with large groups traveling to Africa.  

Since 1999 I've worked with companies and organizations on large groups traveling to various countries in Africa.  I handled securing airlines for the organizations/companies to charter which includes Ghana Airways,Ethiopian Airlines, Hifly Airlines, North American Airlines and World Airways.  I was also responsible with working with the hotels to make sure everybody had a room and at times ground transportation.  In some countries I was responsible for arranging day and overnight trips to help promote that countries tourism.  In 2008 working with Antelope Safaris and other local tour operators I arranged for a group of 241 people to visit the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania which included lunch at the hippo pool.  At the time this was the largest single groups to ever visit the Ngorongoro Crater at one time and is still one of the largest groups to ever visit the crater.  

"I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up and was not happy."

Earnest Hemingway
