For a man who has been described as “the best of the best” and a “legend among his peers”, John Stevens modestly likes to think he’s just lucky enough to have “the best job in the world”.

This Safari Guide Extraordinaire has, for more than 35 years, introduced his guests to the Africa that continues to enthral him every day. John leads exclusive safaris throughout the African continent and has set a standard of excellence so high as to be unattainable by many. From his early days as a Warden in the Department of National Parks and Wildlife of Zimbabwe to the set-up of his own safari company in 1985, John has earned a reputation of respect, admiration and trust from colleagues and clients alike.

This gentle, unassuming man erupts with enthusiasm when describing the bush he loves so much. Now John wishes to share his experiences and knowledge in a refreshingly different way; his plans to tour America in 2009 have been met with excitement and interest. This is a speaking tour with a difference. Supported by fascinating photographs that illustrate John’s wonderful and often amazing stories, audiences will not regret meeting the man nor hearing him speak. This is Africa at its finest and should be enjoyed just the way John would want it - “with excitement, wonder and awe”.
