David makes things happen! With a canny inability to sit still for a minute it’s a miracle he actually sat down long enough to finish his degree. With a passion for systems and well planned organisations – it is David who ensures that Rhino Africa runs smoothly. Before founding Rhino Africa David spent a number of years earning his stripes and cutting his teeth in the industry. David’s interests include Photography and Travel, and having travelled extensively through Africa most of the images on the Rhino Africa website hail from David’s well organised image library!!

Next stop Pretoria and Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa where he cemented his passion for Southern Africa and accepted a permanent position in the tourism industry. Having found his way to Cape Town, Ingo heads up the German division of Rhino Afrika. While he longs for home-brewed Weiss beer, he loves living in Cape Town and is infamous for rescuing stray dogs!
