I grew up in the second-largest town in Zimbabwe and spent my childhood wandering the bush either with my falconer father or on the back of a horse.  I've always been an animal lover. We always had a gaggle of dogs, but I was also rescuing animals from pink naked rats, who were so small they had no fur, to Bulbul chicks (a small bird, a bit bigger than a sparrow). We also had hedgehogs, the odd serval and once even a pangolin.

​

When I grew up, I started working in boring office jobs until my husband & I decided to train as safari guides. So I spent my younger adult years showing people around my corner of Africa and sticking my fingers in piles of warm wet animal dung, Rhino and elephant to be precise. We spent many years working in some of Zimbabwe's top safari destinations. Then life took us to the UK and back to Africa, this time to the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia, and then back to Zimbabwe when our son was born.  

​

We now live in Herefordshire and wander over the hills in the beautiful countryside with the dog, 2 kids and sometimes my camera.
