Chris Goodwin Chris Goodwin

The original 'Active African', when not out touring, Chris can be found either running the trails and climbing the cliffs of his beloved Table Mountain, or dreaming up his next adventure that normally involves a wander in some far-off place.

A previous life in the kitchen and the corporate offices of the commercial catering industry has left Chris with a taste for good food and wine, and the ability to organise the best way to experience it ...

A lively intellect earned through a doctorate in molecular biology, combined with a passion for cycling means that Jacqui can engage you in philosophical debate while hardly breaking a sweat as you tackle that hill with her on your bicycle.

Recognised as a true 'hard man' of endurance sporting events, Owen embodies everything you would expect of an African guide. Rugged good looks and suave personality make him popular with the ladies, while athletic prowess and the ability to fix a Land Rover engine with little more than a piece of wire and some chewing gum earns him respect from his male counterparts. A trained conservationist and keen ornithologist, Owen's passion for wild Africa is best reflected in the images he captures on camera. An accomplished photographer, his art has adorned the walls of private collectors and graced the pages of many a magazine ...
