CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, January 30, 2013, Michael Lorentz, Chief Executive Officer of Safarious Inc. and Passage to Africa, has been recognized by Worldwide Who’s Who for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in tourism.

From an early age Mr. Lorentz was taken by the beauty and majesty of the African wilderness. He knew that if he were to be truly happy, his life and work would have to involve that wilderness and the multitude of wildlife it contained. His first step in accomplishing this goal came at the Timbavati Game Reserve in his home country of South Africa. There Mr. Lorentz was able to study under the legendary tracker Jack Matabula.

Next, Mr. Lorentz moved to Botswana and became the assistant general manager of the safari company Gametrackers. This position led to a role as managing director of Elephant Back Safaris, which gave him a great deal of managerial experience as well as the opportunity to work closely with the animals that he is most passionate about. 

Finally, Mr. Lorentz was ready to take the next step in his career when he moved back to South Africa and took an executive position with Passage to Africa, a company that arragnes pan-African travel for guests seeking both guided and independent experiences. In taking control of the company, Mr. Lorentz intended to offer previously unreachable portions of the African wilderness to a new generation of adventurers. Thanks to Mr. Lorentz’s extensive experience and eye for detail, guests could be sure that they would have a safe, responsible and thrilling experience.

Mr. Lorentz also started Safarious, an interactive community that uses web-based tools to unite serious wilderness professionals with curious adventurers. The goal is to grow Safarious and have it become the defining online platform for wild places.

In addition to his to work with Passage to Africa and Safarious, Mr. Lorentz is an award-winning photographer with numerous publications to his name and a retrospective of his work at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
