"A huge passion that I have is nature, particularly wildlife tours in Africa. Since a child I have engaged in the observation and study of animals in their natural habitat in South Africa. Nearly every time I go into the wild I expereince something and collect another exciting story to tell. I have hundreds of stories that I have collected over time. For instance why the hippopotumus forages for food at night and the escape of an ostrich from the jaws of a crocodile (Rob McCallum).

August 2007 : Tailored retreats for those seeking active meditation in South African nature. These tours will be about mindfulness, what John Kabat-Zinn refers to as ' coming to our senses' both literarly and metaphorically. This can include spending a period of time in an artists community in the northern regions of South Africa.
