Meet Your Guide — Paul Koekemoer

I began guiding in September 2000 and have spent more than 26 years leading private and small-group journeys across Southern Africa. That includes around 16 years guiding in Hluhluwe–iMfolozi and six years working with Kruger National Park safaris.

Durban Tours and Safaris is a personal guiding business, not a large coach-tour company. I collect you in Durban, guide the journey myself wherever possible and adapt the experience around your interests, wildlife activity and conditions on the day.
