Meet Hirani
Qualifications: Bachelor of Biology and Environmental Science, Senior Savannah Guide
Hirani has been a Billy Tea Safaris Guide for 6 years. With a background in biology and zookeeping, Hirani has an absolute passion for the environment, including animals, plants and fungi and the natural environment and says she is "just obsessed with anything to do with natural history."
Testimonial:
"I went on the one day Daintree trip with Hirani as a guide. We had a party of 4 adults one child (with special needs). We (adults) have all done a significant amount of international travel, really quite a lot. We all just wanted to pay tribute to Hirani - she is truly excellent. Great attitude, happy, friendly and an immense amount of knowledge about the area, wildlife, history, indigenous culture etc. Hirani is as good a guide as any of us have seen , and we have done hundreds of tours all around the world. With Hirani working for you, people will keep coming back and word of mouth will just spread. An excellent job Hirani, and thank you to Billy Tea Tours."
