Born and bred in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town – what a privilege. I have been involved in various business ventures over the past 30 years – Present Time in Constantia, Bishops/Herschel School Shop, Bishops/Giltedge Travel, Frog Mountain Guest farm and now our new challenge/adventure, “Hermanus Camino”. I am happily “partnered” with Sam and we have 2 beautiful teenage daughters. We sold Frog Mountain in 2017 and were lucky enough to have chosen Hermanus as our new home – Love Love Hermanus. It was a natural progression to want to start a new venture in/around our new home – Hermanus Camino was born and I am very excited to be able to impart all my knowledge in making this Camino a very special and sought after a week of adventure and retrospection.
A born and bred Capetonian who has always enjoyed different types of sports. My wife, Rebecca, and I moved to Hermanus in 2020. Since moving to Hermanus the realization of what we have on our doorstep and the sheer enjoyment of exploring the mountains of the area led the four of us to the idea of the Hermanus Camino. We wanted to open up our beautiful and diverse environment to others as all great things should be shared. We wanted to create a walk that was both manageable and knowledgeable. We are sure you will enjoy it.
A resident of Hermanus since 2004. I’m a wildlife photographer, tour guide, specialising in whales, birds and the Overberg region. I have authored 2 coffee table books on Southern Right Whales.
I’m just a passionate person and I have a serious love for this part of the world, The Overberg, ocean, fynbos, mountains, birds, whales and its people. I like the simple things in life. With patience, in nature, you will always be rewarded.
