Matthew has been a nature conservation lover from the age of a little boy where his interest has always been with outdoor activities or busy in the veldt studying from the smallest ant to the largest mammal, the African Elephant! You would never find Mathew house bound and this is why he has such a good tan today.

Matthew also worked part time doing Body Guarding for VIP’s at big events on a part time basis previously to studying a NQF Level 4 Advanced Game Ranging and Lodge Management Diploma in 2006. Matthew wanted to achieve a diploma in the industry to uplift his levels. Before and between this time Matthew also did a lot of volunteer work in the bush for the experience and gaining more knowledge as he is a very passionate and enthusiastic person always willing to learn more about nature and its ways?

After the birth of Matthews bush baby (son), he decided to pursue a living but at the same token to keep with his morals for conservation & tourism. Matthews journey had just begun when he started up his Tour Operation and Lodge Transfer Business where he has built it up slowly to find his way around the rights and wrongs and how to run the show in an orderly fashion where he is dedicated to giving any visitor an experience of a lifetime. Being a genuine gentleman and having worked in 5 star lodges out in the bush with visitors and locals from all cornerstones of the world, his desire is to share the heartfelt passion and experience with visitors of all ages.
