Hi, I’m Paul Slyer; I run PAW Safaris, and it’s my pleasure and delight to attend to the specialized needs of the individual guests whom we guide on luxury safaris in the wild African bush. Through PAW Safaris, we specialize in tailor-made adventures, photographic and wildlife safaris, in the unparalleled wild places of Southern and East Africa. We revel in the endlessly changing vistas, magnifice
nt sunrises and unmatched sunsets of the bush, inhabited by myriads of fascinating animals, birds, insects, flowers and trees. We wake in the fresh quiet of the African morning to the dawn chorus, and sleep peacefully to an orchestra of singing crickets, punctuated by the roaring of lions or the eerie calls of hyaena and jackal in the night. My love-affair with the natural world began when I was a very little boy, when my parents first took me to the world-renowned Kruger National Park; I’ve been absolutely captivated ever since. For the last 35 years, my travels have taken me to the parks and reserves of my own magnificent country, and beyond through much of Eastern and Southern Africa, Australia and Asia, endlessly absorbed by the astonishing diversity and intricacy of our planet’s exquisite fauna and flora. In 2104, my passion became my professional career when I established PAW Safaris. I am a Field Guide Association of South Africa (FGASA) accredited, Professional Nature Guide, and recently qualified as a Mentor Trails Guide through FGASA, enabling me to pass on my own knowledge and skills to the rising generation of guides. I have a deep and abiding love for the natural world, and it is a great delight to inspire my guests with my own unfolding knowledge and experience, walking alongside them to places of peerless wonder and beauty. To my joy, many of my clients return again and again to explore with me, so it is my pleasure to count them firm friends. I invite you to join me on a unique, life-changing adventure, made just for you. For more information, or to book your exclusive safari, contact us at [email protected]
