Meet Devon Heuer

I have has spent over a decade exploring the hidden corners of East and Southern Africa — not just chasing wildlife, but listening to the land. From interviewing anti-poaching rangers to living with local communities, Devon’s writing is rooted in respect, wonder, and a deep belief in travel as a force for good. When not in the bush, you’ll find them crafting stories that bring purpose-driven safaris to life.

Most Inspiring Destination

Why I Tell Safari Stories

Because stories have the power to change how we travel. I believe that when we share the heart of a place — its people, its wildlife, its challenges — we inspire others to journey more consciously.
