Meet Shaun!
Braaimaster – the ‘real African local’ – knows the best – off the beaten track – places and if you are lucky he can be your guide too (only on request)!
Braai-master, animal spotter, knowledge seeking and bush expert.
South Africa is my country, born, bred & still living in the bush-veld!
As a youngster my parents a took me to the Kruger Park every school holiday or long weekend. Since the age of 5, I have been in love with my country and the endless nature and the wild bush. Over the years I have worked for many years in the hospitality industry and my career goals were set: creating a very own business in the most beautiful industry, tourism, and to be able to show visitors my country in a very real way.
Come and join us to see how we do!
Meet Sabine!
Travel addict – the brain behind the routes – always in for adventure and discovering new hidden gems
I fell in love with the African continent at the Kilimanjaro in Kenya while the elephants walked across my glamping tent.
In 2012 I stepped into the plane with a one way ticket from the big city Rotterdam in The Netherlands ready for a South African adventure, starting in Cape Town, the winelands and for many years living in a game reserve. Fell in love with Shaun and ever since then live together, following our dreams with always the passion of Africa in mind.
In all those years I have discovered almost every corner of the African countries we offer and I still get super excited to plan most of the amazing routes as ‘brain behind the routes’.
Meet Anouk!
The youngest of the team, creative brain – beautiful in front of the camera as well behind the lens and a big talent in creating travel inspirations!
Anouk lives and works mostly in the busy city of Amsterdam. A place full of energy, noise, and constant motion. People rush to catch trams, sip their to-go coffees faster than they can taste them, and where “green” often means a patch of grass tucked between concrete blocks.
Before starting her journey in travel, she worked in the film industry. A world of structure, deadlines, and pressure. She enjoyed this pace, but deep down she started craving something else.
“When I set foot on African soil for the first time, it opened up a different way of life: no packed schedules, just the sun as your clock. No walls, just endless horizon.
And now, I move between continents, and that’s exactly where my heart lives: between two worlds. The organized planner who loves the thrill of adventure. The city soul who comes alive in the wild. The traveler who discovered that sometimes, it’s far from home where you feel most at home.
As a travel designer, I love bringing my feelings to life by creating unforgettable experiences for others!”
We can't wait for you to Travel Down to Africa!
