Meet your guide

For Mike,
this is home.

Born and raised in South Africa to British parents, Mike has travelled the length and breadth of Southern Africa. After several years in the UK, the pull of Africa brought him home.

Honeybadger grew from a simple wish: to share the wild and the sea with like-minded travellers.

More travel questions
How big are the groups?

Honeybadger’s published tours are personalised for a maximum of six guests. If you are travelling alone or as a larger private party, speak to Mike about the possibilities and the quote.

Can I discuss walking distances and the pace?

Yes. Use your enquiry to describe the kind of holiday you enjoy and ask Mike about walking, transport and the pace of your chosen itinerary before booking.

What happens after I request a booking?

Mike needs to confirm your preferred dates, arrangements and final quote. A booking request does not reserve a place or take a payment.

Are wildlife sightings guaranteed?

Wildlife is part of the excitement of safari, and animals move freely. Particular sightings cannot be guaranteed. Ask Mike what the itinerary includes and what to expect.
