A lifetime adventurer, Jaco has made a successful career out of his passions for nature, photography and African travel. He leads photo, wildlife and birding safaris throughout Southern and East Africa.

With a deep-rooted love for and understanding of Africa’s wonderful wildlife, Jaco ensures his guests are in the right place at the right time, whether they are a photographer, game viewer or bird lover. As a natural teacher who has an innate way of explaining complex animal behaviours so they’re easily understandable, wildlife photography and bird watching becomes a joy for every client. His inspirational personality, endless patience and switched-on understanding makes him one of the best in the industry.

Published by National Geographic, Africa Geographic, Weg magazine in South Africa and a plethora of newspapers, magazines and online articles, Jaco’s work has delighted readers across the world. His biggest asset, however, is how he cares for his guests and their experiences – this characteristic has made him safari friends from all over the world who return again and again for trips with him.
