GUIDING AND HOSTING

I am Gordon Rankin.

I am Gordy. Most of last winter on the snow, above St. Johann, Kitzbühel, Saalbach and Zell am See. Then south, the way I have gone for thirty years: safari, fishing off the Mozambique coast, diving, rugby, and the run I love most, Cape Town down the Garden Route to Knysna. Whichever one you pick, you deal with me the whole way.

When you call, it is me picking up, in Tirol or in Africa.

Gordy

Gordon Rankin · St. Johann in Tirol and Cape Town

Thirty years between two homes.

I come from South Africa, and I live in St. Johann in Tirol. Both of them are still home. In winter I am on the snow here. When it turns, I go south, the same way I have gone for thirty years. Two places, both of them properly, instead of a long list I only half know.

Now it is my own name.

I spent most of my career guiding for other companies, in South Africa and here in Tirol. Go With Gordy is the first time the name on the trip is mine. You write to me directly, and I plan the trip around what you actually want to do.
