About
A native of South Africa and naturalized US citizen since 2008, Bert has crisscrossed Africa for decades.
Bert Duplessis
From the islands of Bazaruto in Mozambique to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro; from sleeping under the stars in Botswana to enjoying the finest hotels in Cape Town and trekking chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains in western Tanzania - he's done and seen it all. More than once.
Over the years Bert has compiled a 'Groundhog Day' list of places and properties where he thinks most people would be happy to wake up every day, for the rest of their lives. He likes nothing better than to share his knowledge and experience to help other African travelers put together absolutely the best trip for them. Depending on their budget, time constraints, interests and passions. Bert is also a keen photographer, using mostly Nikon equipment. A couple of his shots of Xanda, the son of Cecil - both tragically and unethically hunted in Zimbabwe - were used in dozens of media outlets all over the world, including ABC World News.
Bert is a fitness enthusiast. When he’s not punching a heavy bag or sweating on a rowing machine in his garage gym, he’s out running or hiking. His other interests include cooking (nowadays almost exclusively plant-based recipes) and cultivating herbs. Bert is married to Kathy and they live on the west side of Houston, in Texas.
