Robbie developed a passion for the African bush from many visits to his family’s small holding in a greater conservancy just outside Johannesburg. Living in the big city his whole life, he always found refuge in the outdoors and has grown to appreciate the slower pace of life and connectivity with nature that comes with spending time in the bush. After completing his studies in Finance and Accounting at university in Cape Town he leapt at the opportunity to follow his dream by partaking in Londolozi’s 2020 ranger training programme. His dream of sharing his passion for the African bush with others is being lived and will continue to evolve as he furthers his career as a guide at Londolozi.
