Nigel Perks

Nigel, a large man with a quick, infectious laugh and a gold tooth that glints in the sun; a charismatic New Zealander with the heart and soul of an African. He has the knack of making you feel that everything he sees is for the first time, creating a sense of discovery and wonder. He is such an excellent communicator that his guests are swept up in the drama of life and death in the Serengeti area, both present and past (he accompanied Mary Leakey when she uncovered the famous footprints of the earliest hominids on record, that she had discovered in the 1970’s, for the last time). Nigel Perks Discovery mainly operates in Tanzania but Nigel has guided in many other African countries at the request of his devoted clients. When not in Africa he lives in New Zealand where he leads guided tours of his own magnificent country.
