About the speaker
Merging laptop and leopard – Stephanie's life reads as an adventure novel. After 16 years in the corporate world she turned in her business attire for camouflage and moved to the African bush. Here, she qualified as a safari guide, learned to track animals, encounter the big five, handle a rifle and fix a landrover. She loved her work off the beaten track, showing travelers from all over the world the wonders of wilderness. As a next step in her career she managed a college for aspirant safari guides. Now her mission is to inspire groups and organizations: What can we learn from the untamed world? Be invited to embark on a Corporate Safari with Stephanie.
