Kevin Power

Field Guide/Finance

Kevin hails from the small town of George, but we try not to hold that against him...
After obtaining a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance at the University of Stellenbosch, Kev realised that town life wasn't for him for the moment, and moved up to the Lowveld to become a ranger in the Sabi Sands.
Dabbling back in town in 2014, he again felt the call of the bushveld, and joined the Londolozi guiding team at the start of 2015.
Kev's dry sense of humour keeps his guests (and the rest of the team) in stitches.
