Gary Nicoll

Originally from Scotland, I moved to Connecticut in the US when I was 11 years old. I first visited Africa in 2008 to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Although this was a major focus of the trip, the few days spent on safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti following the climb immediately became a lifetime highlight and ensured that I would visit the continent again. The combination of amazing scenery, game viewing, wonderful local hospitality, and endless adventure experiences make Africa a very special place.

I most recently returned from a trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe, where I experienced the majesty of Victoria Falls, the thrill of whitewater rafting the Zambezi River, the excitement of Big Five game drives in the Greater Kruger Park area, the stunning beauty and culture of Cape Town, and the history of Johannesburg. Africa always delivers on all fronts and ensures that you’ll start planning your next visit as soon as you return home.

I have been in the travel industry in various capacities for close to 30 years, much of that time spent selling adventure travel. With a love for travel and a thirst for experiencing new places, people, and cultures, I look forward to helping you customize that dream trip to Africa and experience all it has to offer firsthand.
