Sales Support Administrator

Lorna is the Sales Support Administrator at Cedarberg Africa's UK office. She joined the company in September 2023. From a young age, she developed a keen interest in travelling. Lorna has many fond memories of family trips filled with adventure and discovery. Whether it was wandering around a sunny seaside town or climbing a snow-capped mountain, she has always loved to explore. When she was studying in college, she knew she wanted to travel the world, and worked hard to make this dream a reality.

Whilst some of her favourite travel moments have been shared with friends and loved ones, nothing excites her more than travelling solo. It was on her first solo trip, a six-month whistlestop tour of Asia, that she knew the travel bug was a big part of herself.

Discovering a country's wildlife is a big driving force behind her love for travel, Lorna finds it a real joy to experience animals in their natural habitats. She is always excited to learn more about the country's wildlife and enjoys visiting sanctuaries and learning about local conservation efforts, which are often a highlight of my trips.

Although Lorna would love to visit every corner of the world, she is not great at being landlocked. She prefers to be close to the sea, so you will often find her gravitating towards quaint seaside towns and vibrant coastal cities.

One thing I always pack on a trip

I always make sure I pack a collapsable water bottle. Long days spent out in the sun exploring new places can be tiring and it is very easy to dehydrate. Having a collapsable water bottle means I can pack it away easily when not using it and it takes up a small amount of my precious luggage space.

What are your favourite types of trips to plan?

My favourite trips to plan are for safari newbies. I get so absorbed in the excitement of the unknown and cannot wait to hear their stories when they arrive back home.

Share your most memorable safari experience.

My first African adventure took me on a two-week journey through the stunning landscapes of Tanzania. It’s impossible to choose just one favourite moment from that trip, but flying into the Serengeti was a highlight for me. As the plane descended, I was greeted by the sight of the vast plains stretching endlessly beneath me. Even before landing, I caught my first glimpses of giraffes and zebras wandering in their natural habitat—it was absolutely breathtaking.

Another highlight was my time in Stone Town, Zanzibar. This vibrant town, bursting with life and culture, is a must-see for anyone visiting the island. From the winding streets filled with history to the smells of the local spice markets, Stone Town left a lasting impression on me.

But the crowning moment of the trip had to be witnessing the Great Migration. Seeing thousands of wildebeests and zebras on their annual journey, with the sound of hooves pounding the earth and seeing animals moving in single file toward the Maasai Mara, was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was a life-changing moment that I will never forget.
