David

David Wallace

David was born in a small town in Wisconsin and raised there and in Illinois and Arizona.
It was with the family’s move to Arizona that his love for the outdoors took hold. He was never happier than when he was hiking and camping out, so he pursued a degree in Geology to continue his love of nature and the outdoors. A few credits short of graduating he was made aware of the sad fact that jobs in his field had dried up, so he changed majors and went into pharmacy. It wasn’t great love but it did pay well which financed his traveling and mountain climbing, and gave him a steady income. He was on a trip on a freighter in the South Pacific when he met Victoria and after a long distance love affair, married her and adopted her son Demian. David is at his best when he is working or playing outdoors. He, along with his family, has a great love of animals and protecting them from harm. On his forty acre ranch outside of San Diego he has 3 horses, 6 dogs, 5 cats, 4 parrots, and 2 frogs. The other love of his life is traveling and, along with Victoria, he has traveled extensively. It was on his third trip to Africa that the idea of owning a safari camp occurred to him and his wife, and they have never looked back since.

Victoria Wallace

Victoria was born in Bend, Orogon and raised in South Dakota, Idaho, and Arizona.
Her love of travel started early as the family criss-crossed the western United States as her father changed jobs and the family changed residence. When she was 11 years old she went to Japan with her family to visit her Mother's family. That trip opened up her eyes to how many different ways there were to live, and started her desire to see the world.
At eighteen, she took her one year old child and move to the Big Island of Hawaii. Living in Hawaii she worked in the hotel industry as a waitress and then a bartender. This enabled her to live with her son in a beautiful area and travel whenever she could get money and time together. She and her son Demian lived on the Big Island, Maui Kauai, and Oahu as well as in Japan and San Francisco.
After a trip to Greece and Turkey she returned back to Kauai and enrolled in nursing school. She finished her BSN degree on Oahu at the University of Hawaii.
After working as a RN for a few years, she went on a freighter trip to the Marquesas Islands where she met her husband David.
She loves being in Zambia with the elephants, or being home on their ranch riding horses with David and Demian.

Demian Wallace

Demian was born in Phoenix Arizona and raised in Hawaii, California and Japan.
He started swimming when he was 2 years old, and by 3 was dragging around a surf board. At eight years old he started studying Aikido, and at 13 he stared working out with weights. His love of exercises, martial arts, travel and the ocean have stayed with him and he has worked as a scuba instructor, a first mate on a motor yacht, a waiter, a real estate salesman, a personal trainer, and a model.
He has a degree in business which has come in very handy in putting together this safari camp, as has his ability to feel at home anywhere. He has put in his share of work at Zikomo and when the camp is finished, he will also finish his guides license.
