Buysdorp

after sharing my ideas with some people, I got a group of 12 South Africans together. This was before Google and GPS navigators, so it was with a great sense of adventure, apprehension, and real maps and compass that we tackled this expedition. It took us two months to drive from Cape Town to London.

It was not long after I returned from this trip that I decided to leave my day job as a paramedic and pursue the life of an adventurer. Ten Trans Africa expeditions and many shorter ones later, I have visited 27 African and 15 European countries with my own vehicle.

I always looked to find the remotest places and have visited more than 100 national parks. Over the last 30 years, I drove close to a million kilometres in Africa.
