Robyn's love for the outdoors and wildlife started when growing up on a farm in the Scottish Borders taking any opportunity to take an animal in as a pet.

She soon got the travel bug and loved being able to explore and see how cultures and nature vary around the world. Her favorite experiences so far have been playing with an elephant calf in Thailand, kayaking with orcas in Canada and exploring Cape Town and the surrounding areas. Her love for African travel started after a trip to South Africa and have dreamt about safari and the incredible wildlife since.

She took her passion for exploring and went on to do a Business with Tourism and Events degree at Northumbria University, spending a summer in New Hampshire followed by a year in industry at Disney World in Florida. Having graduated in the middle of the pandemic her plans of hopping on a plane to her next adventure were short-lived and she moved back to Scotland to explore its wonders. She enjoys running (taking on the occasional race!) skiing (especially in Scotland), and a good Sunday brunch.

Favourite African Experiences

My most memorable African experience was participating in rhino conservation efforts in South Africa. I assisted with notching and planting microchips in the horns of a white rhino in Marata. I was also fortunate to join the team at the Kwandwe Conservation Trust in assisting with the notching and tagging of a black rhino and her calf.  Hearing first hand from experts, observing their work and getting the opportunity to participate was incredible expereince.

Favourite Animal

While it's difficult to choose a favourite, I have an appreciation for all wildlife, from big cats to dung beetles. I particularly love young animals, it is fascinating to watch them navigate their new life. My top three animals are the zebra for their unique stripes and sense of community. Cheetah for their elegance and elephants, is incredible seeing them in large herds.

Favourite Three Camps

Sarara  is a community-run camp nestled in the remote Nanyuki region of Kenya.  Sarara offers a unique experience amidst stunning landscapes and is conveniently located near the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, which is a must-do while there.

Ants Nest/Hill This welcoming home away from home is based in the picturesque Waterberg region in South Africa. Despite having less concentrated wildlife compared to other areas in South Africa the unique experiences I enjoyed such as horse riding and swimming with horses in the lake, made it a truly memorable experience.

Lamai Serengeti Set amidst the spectacular Kopje's of the northern Serengeti in Tanzania, Lamai Serengeti provides a magical base for witnessing the wildebeest migration from June to October and while the migration is in the south or central Serengeti is a quiet oasis and a wonderful combination to a migration camp.

On Arranging Holidays

There is such joy in curating personalised holidays for clients, whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, honeymoon, or family getaway. I take pride in listening to their wishes, no matter how big or small, and crafting recommendations tailored to their preferences. One of the best parts of the process is hearing about it when clients return with unforgettable memories, often sparking a wish to plan their next adventure.
