Daphne Brace and her son Richard Norman run Exmoor Wildlife Safaris. Daphne is the main driver and she is the one you will have the most contact with.

They bought the Safari business in May 2012. Daphne was a main driver for the founder members Alison Simms and Duncan Waller, who established the business in 1998. Daphne has nearly 18 years experience of driving the Land Rover Defender on the Exmoor Wildlife Safaris.

Exmoor Wildlife Safaris is now the longest established Safari on Exmoor as Daphne took over the Exmoor Safari soon after owning this business. Daphne and Richard come from a Farming family, the family can be traced back to at least 5 generations of Exmoor family.

As Daphne grew up, spending many hours out on her Pony also allowed her to enjoy close access watching the nature around her. Coming from a farming background Daphne spent many years helping her father on his beef and sheep farm, he recently retired at 86! She also had a share of a flock of Suffolk mule sheep for many years. Most of the jobs Daphne has had have always involved working in the Countryside and so her roots are deeply imbedded in Exmoor.
