She hhas been in Africa a couple of times - to East Africa, taking her husband and two kids, then 14 and 9 to see some of what we do in Africa, and also Southern Africa. When not in the office you will find her track skiing or running.

June Roscoe joined us in November 2006 to help keep track of the increasing complexities of this business! Moving here Maryland two years ago, she brings to us a great background of accounting and organisation, which I am sure you will all notice immediately!

Tana and Charles Lapage are our children, now aged 22 and 21, have been going to Africa every year since they were born. They have both travelled through much of it, becoming skilled ambassadors for Africa and conservation.

Charles, in 2007 will be a senior, reading Biology at Boston University, is pursuing his flying and skiing, and gets back to Africa whenever he can. More recently he has turned to film, and has edited several of the TV interviews on this site.

Tana graduated as a pre-med student in 2006 from LMU in Los Angeles, and then left for Africa. For the past year she has been having various experiences, amongst them following surgical teams and clinics in the Northern part of Kenya to gain medical experience, and helping to host Rekero camp in the Masai Mara!

Alison Jones. Ali has travelled to various parts of Africa on over 20 safaris. Her photographs have been published in books, magazines, calendars, newspapers, TV and videos, annual reports, and sales brochures.

Living in New York, she is our East Coast agent.

We never met Tim Lapage, but the trips he had organized for some friends of ours were so successful... Tim asked each of us what we wanted to do, and although we came up with a very diverse list, he managed to satisfy each of us!
