Drawn by distant horizons and the fire of African sunsets, Michael is an explorer shaped by wild wonders. Introduced to the wilderness from a young age, his passion for travel and untamed places became a guiding compass for his life, not just a career.
Grounded in conservation and experience gained in world-renowned reserves across South Africa, he spent nine years as a private and head guide with Wild Eye, learning to craft journeys that are seamless, safe, and unforgettable. His adventures have since taken him from Africa’s great wildernesses to the rainforests of South America, the ice-carved landscapes of Iceland and Greenland, the polar silence of Svalbard, and the mystic wilds of India — always chasing light, fleeting moments, and what lies beyond the next ridge.
All of this expertise now fuels Wilder Escapes, his boutique travel and destination company. Every safari, expedition, and escape is designed around the traveller’s story, pace, and the moments that matter most. Michael’s mission is simple: to create journeys that feel effortless, deeply personal, and unforgettable — allowing each guest to experience the wild in a way that is meaningful and uniquely their own.
Whether it’s a first safari, a family adventure, or a once-in-a-lifetime expedition, Michael curates each experience to inspire curiosity, spark awe, and leave lasting memories. Those seeking to explore, discover, and experience the WILDER world are invited to connect and begin their journey with Wilder Escapes.
