John grew up in Africa. His fervour for conservation and travel was ignited by a childhood spent travelling to the continent’s wilderness hotspots. As a student John spent every minute he could in the wild – travelling and working as a horse safari guide in Kenya.
He guided at the world-famous Londolozi Game Reserve for a number of years before eventually co-founding Iconic Africa with Terri, through which he continues to share his love for the wilderness with guests from all over the world.
