Growing up on a safari lodge in South Africa, Savannah developed a deep love for the natural world from an early age, travelling across Africa with her parents as they filmed wildlife documentaries and supported conservation projects. Her childhood was spent in tented camps in Kenya and Zambia, often alongside lion cubs and the occasional warthog. After earning her degree in Cape Town, she explored life abroad, working a ski season in Aspen and later joining a London design agency while nurturing her love of writing. Adventure took her backpacking across Europe and volunteering at a Tuscan wine farm, before returning to the UK to specialise in African and Indian Ocean travel. Eventually, she returned home to qualify as a safari guide, blending her passions for conservation, storytelling, and travel, now brought together in her role at Pelorus.
