Ben Morison

Ben grew up in Sudan & Kenya – he named his dog Mara after his favourite National Park. He wishes he’d discovered Mozambique but has to settle with discovering Imagine Africa and being the UK’s luxury Mozambique holiday expert. He spends his holidays searching for the best kite-surfing spots on the Indian Ocean.

James O'Farrell


James has worked in South Africa & spent two years leading groups around East & South Africa. He is often caught ignoring the Big 5 to concentrate on lilac-breasted rollers. His daughter has bought a life-change – holidays currently involve African beaches rather than safaris.

Alistair Walls

Ali did his own budget safari as preparation for work leading groups from Uganda to Cape Town. This year Ali went to Vamizi in Mozambique and rediscovered his passion for diving after a 12 year break. He also managed to get a YES when he popped the question to his girlfriend!

Pierre Burden

Jennifer Chilcott

Jen grew up in South Africa but admits that Tanzania is her favourite destination. She is the only person in the office who prefers a deserted beach to the open Savannah. Zanzibar, with its white sandy beaches, is her baby. Seychelles follows a close second and Mauritius is her next dream destination.

Milandi Joubert

Milandi grew up in the Little Karoo, South Africa where her love for nature first emerged. She swapped country life for the city after school and spent 3 years studying Travel and Tourism in Cape Town. Cape Town is still her favourite city in the world. After working in travel for 5 years, she wanted to widen her horizons and do some travelling in the northern hemisphere. Her initial plan was to stay a few years, but then found her new home in the heart of London.

Emma Wootton

Brought up in the ‘exotic’ fields of East Anglia. Emma's passions are travel and food. She has been lucky enough to see a good deal of the world; however, Kenya quickly became her favourite country when she first ventured there a few years ago. Emma still has many dream destinations but for now she’s making do with enjoying her new London life.

Lina Skruibyte

Lina is our office manager as well as a sales assistant from Lithuania. Like everybody else in the office she loves travelling and is always dreaming about exploring unvisited places. Air balloon flight over the Africa's game reserves is one of her dreams and if it was combined with a parachute jump it would be even better!

Hilary Redhead

Hilary is our resident American (but don’t hold it against her!) who was born and brought up in Washington D.C.  During university she studied abroad in Botswana and when she wasn’t in class she was exploring as much of southern Africa as she possibly could. With a degree in African Studies, she is excited to share her passion for African politics and culture with anyone who will listen. Hilary’s two favourite ‘Africa moments’ were bungee jumping at Victoria Falls and camping in the middle of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. In the past year she has travelled to Tanzania, Zanzibar and Kenya which kick started a great love affair for East Africa! She just hopes southern Africa doesn’t get jealous...

Jo Shuttleworth

Jo found James in Kenya and joined him leading groups around the continent with a final trip overland from the UK to Cape Town. She loves critically comparing luxury African lodges with the view that one day she will combine all the best little touches to create the perfect African lodge.

Flo Pandele   

Born in Romania and naturalised in the UK, Flo has spent the past few years studying for a degree in Tourism Management, but found his true vocation only when joining Imagine Africa as an Online Marketing Assistant. Searching though thousands of nice pictures every day, he discovered true Heaven DOES exist.

Dream Destination:
Diani Beach in Kenya is now his dream destination.
