Everyone at Safari Drive has lived and worked in Africa and each
one of us is passionate about Africa! Safari Drive is owned and
managed by Meregan Turner and Charles Norwood, both of whom have
a wealth of experience and excellent knowledge of Africa. They
got married in Kenya in March 2004. They also share a true sense
of adventure;

Meregan Turner
Meregan has lived in South Africa and Saudi Arabia and
has driven Land Rovers the length and breadth of Africa which
gives her a greater understanding of the geography and location
of lodges than most travel professionals. She is an ex-professional
show jumper and motor racing driver. Being based in Lambourn,
she rides out racehorses early every morning before coming to
the Safari Drive office. She is an experienced safari organiser
arranging self drive and lodge to lodge safaris as well as African
weddings and honeymoons. Meregan and Charles got married in Kenya
in 2004. |

more times than he cares to remember and once escorted a
black cab between London and Sydney. He is Managing Director
of Safari Drive and looks after Safari Drive logistics and
uses his wealth of expedition experience to advise on the
more adventurous trips. His interests include paragliding
(obsessively)and rock climbing. |

Carly Robb
Carly Robb joined Safari Drive to assist with general administration.
Carly has an invaluable experience of Africa having lived in South Africa for
nine years, something that helps her enormously in dealing with our vast network
of African contacts. Carly also spent 3 years in the Middle East. Having previously
worked in an extremely demanding administrative role in the office of a top
racehorse trainer, she is fantastically efficient and is a godsend to our increasingly
busy office. She once famously rafted the Coruh river in Turkey and survived! |
