For more than 35 years I’ve been on the road across Southern Africa, watching landscapes quietly change people. This year I started turning those days into a 12‑volume book series: A Year in Motion – 365 Days in Southern AfricaOne book per month. One chapter per day. Each chapter a single, real moment. Some chapters follow journeys with guests; others come from days alone on the road. All are real. No fiction. Just the country as I’ve seen it from the front seat, the stoep, t

I don’t sell trips. I curate invitation‑only journeys for families who want their travel to mean something. Something good is coming. Make it Africa. Privately DM me if you’d like to e

Last week I shared the first excerpt from my new 12‑volume project, 𝗔 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – 𝟯𝟲𝟱 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗔𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮. This week’s piece from 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 (𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝟵) follows the same journey a little later in the month—this time from the air, flying low along South Africa’s West Coast from the Cederberg back to Cape Town: 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 – 𝗔 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 16 September (excerpt) “Low

Over the past three decades I’ve spent much of my life on the road across Southern Africa quietly collecting moments that never made it into brochures.
