From a young age, Paul had always been fascinated by the natural world. After finishing school, and working for a while in IT, he spent eight years travelling the world: visiting thirty seven countries before returning to South Africa, and becoming a FGASA accredited guide. Over the last eleven years guiding in 5 star lodges, his three major passions: photography, birding and walking in the bush have accentuated his vast knowledge of the African bush.

As an expert photographer, Paul has an eye for detail, whether it be attending to guest's specific needs, or working out the best f-stop for shooting a sunrise or lions on a kill. A professional birder and lead trails walking guide, Paul also guides guests on trails throughout the Kruger National Park and is happy to share his knowledge with all that have the privilege of walking with him.
