Gary’s love for Africa, unique experiences and adventure have led him into the Safari travel business though the Tanda Afrika Safari Company. Together with his co-founder Marlon Du Toit, they have over 45 years of experience in luxury travel and the hospitality business and have personally visited some of the world’s most exclusive game lodges and safari destinations.

Gary’s love for the bush started at a young age of 6 when his dad took him on a family trip to the famous Londolozi Game Reserve. His love for the bush accelerated in his teens through multiple trips to the Kruger National Park and Private Game Reserves throughout Southern Africa. In 1998 Gary was exposed to large-scale, high-end safari travel with the YPO Organisation and Africa Family Safari Experience. Gary joined YPO as a member and created the YPO PhotoVersity program with the objective of learning photography in some of the most amazing locations in the world, a programme that has been running successfully for the past number of years. 

Gary is CEO of the Intamarket Group of Companies which has multiple business interests, including hospitality though the Capital Hotel Group. Gary is an active member of YPO and is currently serves as the Chairman of the Johannesburg Chapter.
