Chris received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wits University in 1975, majoring in English and Art History.

Chris is sensitive to his guests’ interests and with his wealth of knowledge, he is able to expertly curate his tours to address these interests and offer a uniquely tailor-made experience. “My tours are not structured around a tight ‘route’ or ‘agenda’ but seek to find a balance between guests’ requests and giving a true reflection of the place. The incredibly short, violent, diverse and complex history of South Africa demands sufficient details for explanation but enough flexibility to ensure a balanced and fair representation”.
