SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO BIG PROBLEMS
Mike has a unique understanding of the relationship between humans and nature and how they all fit together. His formal education has been environmentally based, part of his early working life has helped the forestry commission of Zimbabwe to holistically manage over 1.5 million hectares of forest. Mike diversified into tourism and started running his own safari company in 1995 and is still actively involved in this business. Mike’s previous experience of taking tourists into remote areas for long periods of time, helped him diversify into field logistics. This has developed into a new element of the Khangela portfolio.
