Peter was born in Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and grew up between here and neighbouring Southern Rhodesia where he went to preparatory school. After attending his father’s old school in Kent, England he entered The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and was commissioned into the Corps of Royal Engineers serving with them from 1981 until 1989. Having left the Army he returned to Africa and set up three rafting companies on the Zambezi chalking up over a thousand trips on the river as a guide. Having raised finance to build a camp of his conception and design, he oversaw the construction of The River Club, a luxurious lodge which took five months to complete. He has been running it ever since. Peter was instrumental in the funding raising and setting up of Zambia’s first Jewish Museum to commemorate the role of the Jewish people in the history of the country over the past 100 years. He was a co-founder of the Zambezi River Security Association which brought a large tourism area along the river under a security umbrella with the co-operation of the Zambia Police, an initiative now being rolled out into other areas in Zambia. In 2017-2019 he was appointed the Chairman of the Zambian Tourism Agency by the Minister of Tourism. Peter sits on the joint committee of Zambia and Zimbabwe tourism boards which is looking to increase the movement of tourists to the region and between the towns of Livingstone and Victoria Falls. He was a key stakeholder in the establishment of Destination Livingstone Initiative and has acted as its Chairman since 2020. He was awarded the MBE in the 2020 New Years’ Honors List as Warden for the British High Commission in Livingstone for his work in fostering UK/Zambia relations.
