Tour Leader Profile: Simon Bellingham

Simon Bellingham developed a passion for wildlife as a young child growing up in rural Zimbabwe. Although he has a Master's Degree in Chiropractic, and has worked for a number of years in the field, his passion for nature could not keep him away from the outdoors. Simon has worked in luxury game lodges, most notably Richard Branson's Ulusaba reserve in the Sabi Sands bordering the Kruger National Park. He has guided many celebrities during his time, including Kofi Anan, Mary Robinson, Graca Michel, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jimmy Wales and Nigel Marven, and during his time at Ulusaba was always requested to guide Richard Branson and his family. It was during a visit to Ulusaba that Adam Riley realized Simon's potential and invited him to help set up and direct Indri.
