“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa for he has so much to look forward to“ – Richard Mullin
The team at Starry Starry Nights is made up of dedicated professionals who share a love for wildlife, conservation, and unforgettable travel experiences. Each team member brings unique expertise and a personal commitment to making every safari extraordinary.
Conrad was born in Johannesburg South Africa. He has always had a passion for all things biological and the outdoors; with the family moving the Kwa-Zulu-Natal Battlefields, he soon realized that there was much to be learned from a natural history of the Biggars – and Drakensberg mountain ranges. After matriculation, Conrad studied a postgraduate degree in Zoology on marine intertidal invertebrate ecology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Pietermaritzburg. However, scientific methodology was not to tie him down and he joined Wilderness Safaris is 1994 and was sent to all manner of southern African countries to start up lodges and run operations and safaris.
He has spent the last 30 years leading expeditions and safaris over the entire African continent, to all ends and still to this day recommends at least one month annually in that great continent, the continent where we all evolved from – Africa. He has also contributed and led polar expeditions to both ends of the planet for the last 18 years for various expedition cruise companies. Over the years Conrad also explored much of the Indian Ocean, both above and below the waters and has been privileged to have visited some of the world’s most remote atolls and islands.
He has his own specialist safari company, Starry Starry Nights, in Johannesburg, where all the nature stuff started…
I know it sounds cliche, but there is just nothing like being on safari. An African safari is one of the most unique vacations one can have and my passion is to share this with you and make your safari dream come true.
There are so many African countries to travel to, parks to explore, animals to see, safari lodges, and a variety of unique activities on offer. To help you get ready for an epic African safari we put together these awesome safaris for you, your friends and family!
I have been in the travel industry for more than 30 years and still love what I do every day.
“I’ve had two life changing experiences. Hiking and spending time with the Gorillas in Rwanda and my very first Pangolin sighting in Botswana. Getting our guests to share these same experiences has become my obsession.”

Sixteen years ago the whole world looked at Africa at once, and for one month the continent was the centre of everything. That song still does something to anyone who lived it. As the tournament begins again this month, we find ourselves back in 2010, back in the noise and the colour and the feeling that there is nowhere on earth quite like here.
Come see for yourself what the cameras only hinted at.

By June, the grass is low and the bush has thinned, leaving fewer places for wildlife to hide. As the dry season settles in, water sources become more limited, drawing animals toward rivers, pans, and waterholes. Predators are never far behind, and the crisp winter light creates exceptional viewing conditions throughout the day.
Most travellers wait for summer. The ones who know come now, and we would happily plan it with you.

Along the rugged coastlines of Scotland, we were fortunate to spot a puffin, a fleeting but unforgettable encounter. Often called the “clown of the sea” for their colourful beaks, puffins spend most of their lives out at sea, only returning to land during the breeding season.
To witness one, even briefly, is to experience something quietly special, a reminder of how much wonder exists in the wild, if you’re willing to look for it.

Some places feel almost out of reach.
St Kilda is one of them. Remote, untamed, and deeply atmospheric, a place where nature, history, and isolation converge in the most extraordinary way.
A World Heritage Site and often considered one of the holy grails of British islands, it offers something rare: a true sense of distance from the modern world, and a deeper connection to what lies beyond it.
Not easily reached, but all the more meaningful because of it.

Some journeys leave such an impression, you know you’ll return.
Victoria Falls in full flow is one of those moments. With the Zambezi at its highest level in over two decades, the sheer volume of water is nothing short of awe-inspiring, a force of nature that has to be felt to be understood.
During our stay at @victoriafallsriverlodge , we experienced this extraordinary landscape from the edge of the mighty Zambezi, surrounded by wilderness, wildlife, and complete stillness.
Beyond the falls, Zimbabwe’s national parks offer a safari experience that is both rich and deeply rewarding. From the vast wildlife of Hwange to the beauty of the Lower Zambezi, it’s a region that continues to call us back.
We’re already planning our return for 2027.
If this is a journey you feel drawn to, let us know, we’d love to share it with you.

There are places that feel quietly exceptional, Madikwe is one of them.
Just a few hours from Johannesburg, this vast and often overlooked reserve offers some of the most rewarding game viewing in South Africa. Home to both black and white rhino, what makes it even more remarkable is that these animals still roam with their horns, a testament to the strength of its conservation efforts, with no rhino poaching recorded here in recent years.
It’s a place where wilderness feels protected, sightings feel meaningful, and every moment in the bush carries a deeper sense of connection.
A truly special experience, made even more memorable by the warmth and care of the team at Jamala Madikwe.

Some places leave a lasting impression, not just for their beauty, but for the feeling they create.
As South Africa celebrates Mother’s Day this weekend, we celebrate the women who do the same. The ones who shape us, support us, and are part of every journey we take, near or far.\
From all of us at Starry Starry Nights, Happy Mother’s Day.
