Profile:

Andre began his career in 2001 after obtaining an Honours degree in Ichthyology from Rhodes University and two years of walking up and down the Wild Coast, interviewing fishermen. If that sounds like a good job, it got better. He was at Kwandwe for five years and saw it grow from a fledging reserve into a truly remarkable place. From there,  he and his wife, Keri spent three months guiding at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge in Tanzania, which was an invaluable experience. They have now been at Exeter since October 2006. Andre loves so many aspects of his job, from the wild flowers, to the people, and of course, the birds. His passion for birding has lead him to become a Specialist Bird Guide at Exeter. The focus of his own holidays is often exploring Southern Africa and beyond in search of new birds.  While in East Africa last year, he travelled to Uganda where one of the highlights was finding a Shoebill. Andre found that the variety of new and colourful birds there to be awe-inspiring.
