Leanne Koopman-Monk

Travel Assistant

Leanne grew up in Clanwilliam and has known Kate and Ginny since she was a young girl. When the chance came to join the team when she was older, she knew she had found her professional home.

Leanne is a stalwart and keeps the Cedarberg ship running smoothly. She has a caring and kind way about her, which is greatly appreciated and relied on when life gets busy at Cedarberg Africa! She is a real all-rounder and works across the team and company to ensure all the boxes get ticked and i's are dotted and t's crossed. The team relies on her multi-tasking superpowers and gentle, unflappable approach at all times.

Leanne is a mom to two little ones and as much as she enjoys the horizons of travel, she is happiest when she is spending time with her family and loved ones.

More on Leanne

One thing I always pack on a safari trip

Chargers and adaptors – I like to be prepared and to be able to charge my camera or phone so that there is always enough battery to enjoy taking great pictures.

Where do you plan on visiting next ?

I am looking forward to exploring more of the whale coast in South Africa. The beaches, and range of incredible fynbos make for spectacular natural beauty. Anywhere with great views and loads of opportunities to spend time in nature works for me!
