Just a Note

A defining Moment

As a young man in secondary school, my first ever outing to an overnight Wildlife Park was at Tsavo West National Park in 1979, when I lead a group of young Wildlife Club Members from my school on a Camping trip Sponsored by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. This 1^st trip did then ignite in me a passion of seeking to understand Nature and our heritages and its intertwining complexities with human life.

What began as a Hobby in those early days resulted in my abandoning a Career Path in Accountancy and Finance to a Passion in Tourism and thus to a New Career Spanning more that 30 years later today.
