Born and bred in Cape Town, this surfer boy loves nothing more than weilding a camera and riding the waves. He was an outdoorsy child, playing any sport he could. His magic footie skills will keep the rest of the team on their toes……literally. Nowdays, he prefers to spend his time surfing and of course playing with cameras. Having spent four years learning the ins and outs of film making, this top notch camera man has made his mark on the industry. From kite surfing competetions to MTV reality shows this gifted photographer loves nothing more than holding your eye. With his infectious laugh Rob is slipping effortlessly into the WE team and looks like he has a chance of filling Helen’s big boots.
Likes: Surfing and girls
Dislikes: Trance music and eating meat.
Rob,
I have been truly enjoying your fantastic work on the camera.
Now if we can get you to feel comfortable enough to talk more, we’d love to hear your input on things also.
And yes, to also hear this infectious laugh we have been told about.. lol
A belated welcome to you and I look forward to watching you at work enjoying your self as much as possible.
Cheers!

A belated Welcome to you Rob, and, hello to Pieter. You make an awesome team. Camera work is smooth and in sharp focus. Driving and commentary from Pieter is as always, top notch, entertaining as well as highly informative. Love from Smalldog.
No gamedrive in the morning of July 28th.
The farewell party for Nick and Helen will be held this evening – Friday July 27th. To give all the party-animals a chance to sleep late, there will be no game drive to-morrow morning.
Nick and Helen’s last game drive will be Saturday afternoon.
Have a very good party.
Here’s a thought, why don’t you employ Mike (Moss). He seems to know everything and is not shy to share that he knows everything!
Welcome to the team, Rob!
Welcome Rob!
Has the morning drive for 7/28 been cancelled? We couldn’t hear all that was said on the afternoon drive. Could you please update the blog so we know?
Thank you,
AudreyJean
Welcome to the crew Rob! I hope you’ll be showing us a lot of amazing sightings!
I had a question for the WE staff: Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have one of the drives dedicated to the smaller critters sometime? Like a bug drive so to say hihi.
We’re seeing all the large animals which is amazing, but we’re missing out on the smaller ones like bugs for an instance. Maybe it would be cool to announce a specific date especially for the buglovers among us, to see the amazing african insects?
Welcome Rob!!!! I haven’t been able to catch many rides lately, life seems to be getting in the way, but I do look forward to catching a few rides with you on camera.
Welcome aboard!

No dump again Today !!!!
Welcome aboard, Rob! Can’t wait to see what amazing view’s you will be showing us!
You have an infectious laugh, eh? Will be hard to top Helen’s giggle! =)
Welcome aboard…Will be looking forward to see you on cam and may you have plenty of fun and exciting drives and sightings
Rob, welcome, and one piece of advice:: don’t forget the closeups, esp. of small animals and things. We viewers have been frustrated (not by Jan or Helen) when people manning cameras leave us hanging at a distance, unable to see any details. Continuous zooming in and out or constant refocusing is also a no-no.
Many of us are using screen capture programs and need a few seconds to click on a good shot, so keep that in mind. These drives have a LOT of fans!
Good luck! :-)
welcome aboard…may you have plentyful sightings and wonderful rides…im sure all of us will get to like you as the rest of the WE gang!
Welcome to the WE team, Rob! Best of luck with your new job, and we look forward to your input and perspective!
Cheers!
