Mark founded The Africa Adventure Company in 1986 after spending 2 years traveling through 16 countries, from Cairo to Cape Town, gathering material for his books and establishing contacts with safari companies and tour guides.

[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4050″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Mark most recently traveled to South Africa and Botswana, Tanzania and the Private Reserves of South Africa (Kwande and Tswalu). Further previous trips were in the Selous and Serengeti in Tanzania, and the Mara in Kenya, to see many of the new camp openings.

Author of 2 award-winning books, “Africa’s Top Wildlife Countries” and “African Safari Journal”, Mark is known in the industry as one of the “Travel Expert of Africa”. Though Mark has essentially covered the African continent in his journeys, he continues to travel often to update information and explore new areas. Hard to find information on Africa is always at his fingertips, and he loves to take the time to talk to people about the many adventures that can be found on the continent. His latest family trip was visiting Zimbabwe with his two teenagesons and doing the fun activities of walking with elephant, tracking rhino and wild dog, and canoeing the Zambezi. The Omo River trips in Ethiopia are still some of his favorite remote adventures.
