Andrea grew up in Cape Town but was introduced to the bush from a very young age spending much time travelling Sub-Saharan Africa. She developed a great love for the outdoors and during her studies began river guiding along the Orange and Breede Rivers.

After a 4 year degree in design, illustration and photography at Stellenbosch University she traveled and worked in the Mediterranean. Upon her return she began voluntary work planting indigenous trees in the Cape Peninsula with an initiative called Greenpop. She then started her field guide training and guided up in the Timbavati before joining us here at Savanna. She also has a passion for capturing moments out in the bush through photography and illustration.
