MATT PROFILE PIC ROUND

Born and raised on a farm in the heart of Zululand South Africa, the African bush has fascinated me since first memory. I have always described the African bush as the exact point where blinding beauty and boundless adventure meet.

Photographic safaris have always had a special place in my heart because it allows us an opportunity to capture glimpses of the sheer beauty Africa has to offer. My profession as a photographic guide continues to take me all over the continent of Africa, and the rest of the world, meeting the most wonderful people in the most breathtaking places. Nothing pleases me more than sharing these moments with people from all over the world.

I was fortunate enough to grow up with friends from the Zulu tribe and I have always had a passion to share their lessons and secrets from the natural world with travellers, and so I began my professional guiding career in  2012 at Phinda Private Game Reserve. It was here that I discovered my love for the world of photography and in particular, fine art photography. My guiding career has included Big 5 walking safaris, Turtle Guiding, Bird Guiding, 4 x 4 Overland Tours and guiding for well known bush lodges in Southern & East Africa. Photographic safaris have always had a special place in my heart because it allows us an opportunity to capture a small glimpse of what beauty Africa has to offer.
