2014 Conference Speaker – Rob Caskie

THE WONDER OF AFRICA

STORY-TELLER | BUSINESS MOTIVATOR | KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Rob has been in storytelling since working with the late David Rattray on the Anglo Zulu battlefields, where he first honed his skills. He quickly established himself as a word-class orator due to his passion for and firm belief in the educational powers of remarkable stories, in particular those of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift.

An agriculture graduate at first, Rob soon found his place in the guiding profession as a photographic safari guide and wildlife filmmaker in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. The expertise of this Natal Midlands talented professional(promising young man) instantly earned him a place as official photographer on Kingsley Holgate’s Afrika Odyssey expedition in 1993 along the waterways of Africa from Cape to Cairo.

With travel, people and photography firmly under his belt, Rob embarked on a four-year round-the-world expedition, which took him through the UK, Europe, Israel, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. The last sixteen months of this trip were spent travelling and working in the United States, Mexico, Canada and Alaska.

This global voyage cemented Rob’s interest in people, cultures and history, he now devotes his oratory talent to motivate, inspire and guide.
