The Africa bug bit Phil Clisby in the early ’90s when he spent 18 months overlanding and backpacking through the continent, from Morocco to South Africa.
He has returned many times since, both independently and with his family in tow, clocking up some 26 African countries in the process. Though, admittedly, he now prefers sleeping in a bed to under a tree – or even a table, for that matter.
A former publications manager at Gecko Publishing, Phil is now a regular contributor to Travel Africa magazine and website.
