PATRICK FONSECA

Patrick was born in Landstuhl in the state of Rheinland Pfalz, Germany. His mother is German and his father an American with Mexican roots. He was raised in Germany, and traveled a lot with his parents as his father was a U.S soldier. Patrick worked for several years as a travel agent, sending clients all over the world. He realized that he needed a change from the office environment. Patrick has loved the nature for as long as he can remember. Patrick came to South Africa on holiday, and it was love on first sight. Once he set his mind to it he moved here and the best thing that happened to him was becoming a safari tour guide. Close to nature, learning new things about it every day, and sharing this knowledge with those of with the same interests. So here Patrick is, enjoying and adapting this new lifestyle. Come and join him, on this once in a lifetime adventure.

BOTSWANA WILD PARKS: "I found this particular holiday hard to convey into words that would give it all justice.. My husband Jarvis lived out in Africa for 3 years as an engineer 30 years ago, and never got around to visiting again until this trip...He covered (Malawi -his cousin was a safari director-retired now)+Namibia+most of South...so it was hard to find a trip and this one seemed to fit the bill he was amazed, and how organised and hard working the guides, and knowledgeable they were. However, the guides Patrick and Chris were truly remarkable and made everyone special, making time for answering all our questions none stop, cooking wonderful home made food, which was a delight, (I even ate my porridge) said mummy bear!. As a group Patrick and Chris really made and helped us all jell like one huge family, always ready for laughing, both remarkable and got the balance right for all of us... SO WELL DONE TO THE GUIDES excellent!!!" Marie and Jarvis Weir, UK

CAPE TOWN TO VICTORIA FALLS EXPLORER: "She enjoyed her trip very much, everything was perfect and well organised. Patrick and Charel, our guides were very friendly, experienced and had great knowledge. She had absolutely nothing to complain about." Marina Poweleit, Germany

SOUTH AFRICA RAINBOW ROUTE:  "A great team in their tour company! Perfectly attuned to each other, friendly, attentive and sensitive in dealing with the guests. It was an almost perfect and memorable trip to southern Africa (round trip). But our gratitude and respect for the power of its two employees!" Angelika & Mario, Germany

TRADE ROUTE:  "I would personally like to thank my guides Patrick and Jefias for having guided our tour through Zambia and Malawi so perfectly! Thanks to their commitment, it turned into a real once-in-a-lifetime-experience. Patrick has a huge knowledge of wildlife and he always explained everything very clearly and answered all sorts of different questions. He was always in a good mood and interested in how we felt as a group. But he also encouraged us to enjoy ourselves and to relax which established a very good balance and ensured that we all had a fantastic time. So Patrick, thanks for this perfect tour, for the excellent food you cooked and last but not least for your ongoing physical power while we were paddling down Zambezi River. Hakuna matata!" Juliane, Germany
