Living the Wilderness Dream
Experience Africa with Those Who Live The Wild
We are Dean and Nicole, wilderness guides who found their purpose in connecting people with the untamed wild places of Africa and in sharing her soul-stirring magic. We curate and accompany safaris for those who want to experience Africa at their own pace and enjoy travelling in private.
As fully qualified FGASA Field and Trails Guides, we have lived and worked permanently in the most fascinating wilderness areas of Southern Africa, the Congo and central-east Africa - places where nature still leads.
LIVING THE WILDERNESS DREAM is neither a project, nor is it a slogan - it is simply the story of our lives. It is the life we live, the connection we share, and the story we continue to write - one encounter, one landscape, one guest at a time.

THE LONGING FOR THE WILD
"Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit."
Edward Abbey
We believe that within each of us lies an ancient yearning - a deep, instinctive pull towards the wild. It is a desire to be in a place where life is in harmony, where the mind can quiet, and where the soul feels at peace.
Modern life offers comfort and convenience, yet it often leaves us feeling disconnected - from nature, from each other, and from ourselves. In the constant noise of daily routines, the quiet roots that once bound us to the natural world grow faint. But they are not lost. They simply await nourishment and space to grow again.
To return to the wild is to journey home. When walking upon the ancient soils of Mother Africa - the birthplace of our species - something deep within us stirs in recognition, the noise falls away, and we find rest.
