Wendy
Director

The bush for me is a soul experience where you can connect with nature in a personal way. I enjoy experiences that combining game drives, bush walks and animal watching that way you learn and experience a bit of the animal’s world. It is an opportunity to take time out of our busy lives and schedules and be still and enjoy and rejuvenate. One trip to the bush is never enough so it’s good to have different trips.
