Hi, I’m Jo - most of you know me as Gary’s wife! ❤️

Before meeting Gary, I was a keen traveller, backpacking and hitchhiking across many continents. Becoming a teacher gave me the holidays to continue exploring, particularly in Africa.

In the mid-90s, I took a teaching job in Arusha, Tanzania, where I met Gary, Hannah and Jamie, and we became a family. Hunter arrived soon after, completing our family. ❤️

I continued teaching for many years before gradually joining the family business. What started with menus and recipes has evolved into interior designing our lodges and camps, including making many of the soft furnishings myself.

And, for my sins, I’m also the CFO! 😂

So that’s me - traveller, teacher, mum, stepmum, granny, creative soul and number cruncher, all rolled into one!

I’ve been waiting all week for my brother to choose a song for this reel but he didn’t so I did…this was 4yr old Hunter’s favourite song to dance to! Keep reading for some words from Mr Bombastic…

Hi I’m Hunter! Maybe you know me, maybe you don’t! But here’s some things about me…

I grew up between Tanzania and the UK, in a family that lived and breathed travel. The bush was our backyard, and somewhere between the dust roads and the campfires we all picked up an adventurous spirit none of us have ever managed to tame.

That restlessness has carried me through the last few years, to remote corners of the world, always searching for the rare experiences most people never hear about.

Two places keep pulling me back, and they’re the ones I want to share with you most: the wild, untouched forests and coastline of Gabon, and the scattered archipelagos off the Tanzanian coast.

If you’re ever hanging out with Hunter and he hasn’t been to/in the ocean for a while…just know you’re probably not getting his best self. Highly recommend you either get him to the nearest beach or even just talk about some beachy experience (“when’s the wind best off the East African coast?” is always a winner) and watch the mood melt away!

We’re not on here (the socials) for likes. Or follows.

We’re just out here loving what we do with the small group of people who want to do it with us!

That’s what life’s about, mate.

Love these raw videos from our guides sent from the bush-no editing, no filters just exactly how it is! Thanks Naiman for sharing this!

The most perfect sunrise and Great Pyramid vibes because it’s almost time for another round of North Africa!

Fun fact: Cairo was the very first place in Africa Gary ever set foot - there’s a whole story behind that one, but it deserves to only be told by him…in person rather than in a caption!

Last year, Dad and I spent almost three weeks with a group exploring every corner of Egypt, and it clearly left its mark on all of us. This year, Hunter’s joining Dad over there (and in Morocco), and Gary’s doing a back-to-back Egypt-then-Morocco adventure with the next group - with Jo meeting him for the Morocco leg. Did you understand all that?!

Safe to say the love for North Africa runs deep in this family!

If you’ve traveled with us on one of these trips, I want your two-word summary of it in the comments - be kind!

Slow down.
Notice everything.
The sounds.
The smells.
The feeling of the air around you.

Precious moments at Osunyai Lamarkau.
Another capture by Mc!
