“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.”

Some journeys brought us closer to a place. Others brought us closer to people.
What began as a shared itinerary often became something far more meaningful, conversations that crossed cultures, laughter that needed no translation, and moments that quietly turned strangers into something that felt like family.
This past Family Day, we were reminded that family isn’t always defined by where you come from, but by the connections you create along the way. The respect, curiosity, and openness we shared are what made these journeys truly special.
At Starry Starry Nights, we’ve always believed that the most memorable travel experiences are not only about the destinations you explore, but the people you meet and the bonds that stay with you long after the journey ends.
Because sometimes, family is found in the most unexpected places.

It’s quite a rare photo – a polar bear mum and her cub, on a kill, watching a pod of beluga whales drifting past.
Right place, right time.

Our very, very favourite sentient beings.
There is nothing like spending time with Elephants.
They are almost human in so many respects.
Intelligence, caring, emotional, deeply philosophical and family obsessed –
all traits that intrinsically link our two species.

The outer islands of the Seychelles. Aldabra.
Almost mystical, otherworldly and full of unique creatures.
Coconut crabs, the Aldabra flightless rail, untouched coral reefs offshore…
Some of the most gorgeous, unspoilt sea on Earth.
And 150 000 giant Aldabra tortoises on the atoll –
the largest population on Earth.
A place that feels almost mythical.
Always unforgettable.

This marks my 30th year of guiding.
It all began back in 1995, doing overland trips through Malawi and Zambia for two years.
Thirty years… my goodness – who would have thought.
