Jane was born and raised in South Africa. She has explored South Africa comprehensively and has hiked in the Drakensberg mountain range, driven across diverse and breathtaking landscapes in the Cape regions and has explored Kruger National Park on regular safari trips – her first visit to the Kruger was aged three. This instilled a love for wildlife and birdwatching and lead to Jane pursuing her dream job of living and working in the bush. She has managed safari lodges in both Greater Kruger and the Madikwe Game Reserve.

Jane has travelled to over 25 countries, her love and passion for all things Africa means she’s happiest speaking to guests about the natural beauty, wildlife and diverse people of Africa. When not in Africa, Jane enjoys walking and birdwatching in the Norfolk countryside.
