Susan, was born and raised in California, but ventured from her home town of Santa Barbara to travel the globe working as a fashion model. Her love of travel and adventure grew out of her experience of living and working abroad. She finally landed in New York City, finished her BA at Columbia and started a photography production business, where for more than 20 years she continued to travel while producing fashion photo shoots. Susan has been a safari specialist at African Portfolio since 2020 and is an invaluable member of the team in working with clients to design their dream safaris to Africa, developing client support and service policies and related documents, as well as spear heading marketing and special projects. She has traveled to Kenya, Zambia, Malawi, Victoria Falls, and Botswana.
At the heart of what we do is a common passion for sharing our love of and experience with safari travel in Africa. Our success is the result of hours spent matching what you want with what we’ve got. Collectively, we have lived in Africa for more than 100 years, visited over 400 safari camps, lodges and hotels, met with dozens of safari guides, tour operators and camp managers, and undertaken just about every adventure activity from gorilla tracking to walking safaris. In short, we've been there and done that and can tell you all about it … for real.
