Shaun Obery

Shaun joined the travel industry just over 10 years ago, working first for an online travel booking portal and an ecotourism company, specialising in sustainable travel in Southern and East Africa. He has travelled extensively around the globe but was always drawn back by the raw beauty that Africa has to offer. In his off time he enjoys the myriad of outdoor activities that living in Cape Town offers, from mountain biking and hiking to a leisurely paddle in False Bay, but most of all he enjoys finding new restaurants and eateries in and around the city. To name just one highlight that sums up Africa would be impossible, so he suggests you experience them all - from the sunrise while standing on a beach in Zanzibar, the smell of the bush when on a walking safari in Sabi, the stark beauty of the Cedarberg, and the dramatic sunsets in the Makgadikgadi that will stay in your memory forever.
