Angus

"There is no better way to understand the importance of conserving wild places than to immerse yourself in them, if only for a short while."

Angus was very lucky to have travelled extensively as a young person and understood from an early age the value of combining adventure, experiential learning and peaceful reflection. These three things are always components in well planned and delivered African experiences that Angus and his team put together for their adventures in Africa.

Angus' first expedition to Africa was to South Africa in 2003. This and all the subsequent ventures have been great successes, and include taking many groups to Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Eswatini, Kenya, Morocco, and Malawi.

Angus likes to include an element of learning in the areas of nature conservation, environmental awareness, cultural diversity and community engagement in all ventures, where possible.

At the end of 2009 Angus formed Africa Wild Trails and the company has key partners in Africa whom Angus has known and operated with for many years. All of the guides, expedition leaders and instructors that he works with are highly qualified and experienced field experts, and as a team Angus says that safety, risk management, logistical expertise, and maintaining high standards are the most important aspects of any venture.

Angus' company Africa Wild Trails has been assessed by and is compliant with the highest British standards for international group travel, and now plans and delivers youth and adult adventures, charity events, field studies, bespoke group ventures, and family safari holidays.
