With over 20 years in the travel industry, my journey began in retail before transitioning to outbound and, eventually, inbound sector. I’ve explored my homeland extensively – from luxurious train rides on the esteemed Rovos Rail and Blue Train to meandering through the picturesque countryside. I have marvelled at the beauty of our stunning game lodges, where I witnessed the majestic Big 5, elusive wild dogs, and graceful leopards. These experiences were accentuated by stays in exquisite 5, 4, and 3-star hotels. Every nation and town holds its own unique and captivating experiences. Born and raised in the enchanting Mother City of Cape Town, my heart belongs to this incredible region and all it offers.

I continue to be fascinated by our industry’s endless learning opportunities and experiences. My love for Southern Africa grows deeper each time I discover a new hidden treasure in this remarkable land. I love to use my passion and knowledge to help explorers plan their perfect journey through the spellbinding beauty of Southern Africa.
