Africa Travel Specialist

Africa has always held a special place in my heart – and I just can’t get enough of talking about it! My love affair started when I camped for three months through eight countries, travelling overland from Nairobi to Cape Town. Following what was one of the most magical experiences in my life, I also fell head over heels for Mauritius and its selection of palm-fringed beaches and dramatic mountains.

However, my ultimate passion is South Africa. Its variety is what I love about it most – and what draws me to return over and over! From tasting a refreshing selection of wines in the stunning vines of Stellenbosch to cycling along the gorgeous esplanade in Durban, I have so many unforgettable memories to reminisce on. Hiking in the Drakensburg mountains was simply breathtaking while spending New Year’s Eve in Cape Town will always be a highlight of my time in the ‘rainbow nation’.

Other highlights of my time in Africa include:

  • A sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara on my honeymoon
  • Seeing my first ever lion in the Ngorongoro Crater
  • Swimming in Lake Malawi
  • Bungy jumping at Victoria Falls
  • Climbing Dune 45 in Namibia on Christmas morning
  • Snorkelling in Zanzibar and eating the best red snapper of my life
  • Helicopter ride over Mauritius’ natural wonders

As a result of my travels, I decided to foray into the wonderful world of travel in 2012. Matching up the perfect holiday for each and every single one of my clients is the absolute best feeling the world.
