Tom first travelled to Africa in 2009, initially to Zambia with his family, before joining a school rugby tour in South Africa. On this trip he enjoyed many of the unique experiences these countries have to offer including rafting below the Victoria Falls, lunching on Livingstone Island, climbing Table Mountain and visiting Robben Island.
This trip inspired a love of adventure, travel and wildlife prompting Tom to spend much of his spare time dreaming of Africa. In 2011 he visited Kenya spending two weeks on safari with family. He enjoyed his time in the Maasai Mara so much that two weeks later he was back on a plane to work at Cottar’s 1920’s Safari Camp for a month.
Whilst at university studying physics this love of Africa continued. Tom became involved in an independent project to raise money and build a school in the Chikolongo region of Malawi, where in 2012 he spent two weeks helping with the construction. After graduation Tom spent six months in the French Alps on a Ski season followed by a two-month self-drive trip around southern Africa in a beaten up old Land Rover.
Following his travels Tom spent a year working in the film industry before the itch for Africa persuaded him to move to the travel industry and Expert Africa in 2015.
