Timothy started his love of Africa and nature as a child growing up on a Dairy/sheep farm in rural England. At age 7, Robin & Pat Morgan retired next door to Timothy from Kenya having farmed in the Kenyan Highlands and lead safaris throughout Eastern Africa. This connection started the ‘safari bug’, that has now become a way of life for Timothy and to which he is most thankful.

At age 14, Timothy’s parents moved to British Columbia, Canada. The Morgan’s put Timothy in touch with The Hopcraft family living in BC, it is these ‘connections’ that continued to inspire Timothy on his path to this very day.

Timothy has spent nearly 4 years of total time ‘on safari’ with clients, taking part in formal training and ‘on site’ inspections of camps over the last 16 years, visiting nearly every major National Park in Southern and Eastern Africa. A great privilege as Timothy often points out, with much thanks to the camp owners & friends for supporting his learning and education!

Timothy is a partner of Jackson’s African Safaris (Pty) Ltd – a South African based and registered safari company.

Timothy spends time leading tours each year and the rest of the time at home in Nelson, B.C. Canada.
