Sam McConnell

Desert Expeditions

For the last five years he has been concentrating on running expeditions, treks and desert leadership programmes in the Sinai, where last September Sam finished his 101st desert expedition.

From 1996, Sam worked in Namibia and Botswana as a guide on 78 safaris in the fairly hostile environments - and sometimes ‘biblical’ weather - of the Namib and Kalahari deserts.


In 2002 he walked solo without communications, and unsupported across the dune sea of the Namib Desert – the highest and oldest dunes in the world.  For this he was honoured with a fellowship at the Royal Geographical Society as well as a documentary, which was broadcast worldwide.
