Matt’s passion for Africa began at a young age, when his best friend’s family came from Ethiopia and his father told stories of thrilling lion encounters on the Serengeti plain. After school, he joined a charity to live in Uganda for a year where he taught in the local village and took groups of university volunteers up to see gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. In addition to this, he has volunteered at Modisa Wildlife Project in Botswana where he has taken part in game captures and vulture nesting studies, as well as travelled extensively throughout the country.
