Peter Allison
Peter Allison has led safaris in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. It was his love of animals that first led Peter to Africa at the age of 19, and by the late 1990s he'd graduated from being a safari guide himself to leading the training of guides for the region's largest safari operator. Peter has led safaris that have featured in such magazines as Vogue and Conde Nast Traveller. He has also assisted National Geographic photographers and appeared on television shows such as Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures. In between globetrotting the world as a marketeer for the Africa's leading safari company, Peter divides his time between Sydney and Cape Town.
