Guest contributor

Kelsey has many fond memories of family bush and camping trips across South Africa when she was growing up and for her, this sparked a growing love for the wilderness and opportunities to seek new adventures. Although she studied BComm Financial Management and spent five years working in Project Finance, her curiosity and desire to move away from the corporate world led her to spend 2 years working and traveling around parts of the USA and Europe on a private yacht. Finally, in 2021 Kelsey joined the Londolozi family and fulfilled her dream of becoming a field guide, living and working in the African wilderness.
