Milandi Joubert

Africa Travel Specialist

Milandi grew up on a fruit farm in the Little Karoo in South Africa where her love for nature first emerged. She swapped country life for the city after school and spent 3 years studying Travel and Tourism in Cape Town. After spending years in the corporate travel arena, she widened her horizons by getting on a plane to the UK.

She joined the Cedarberg Team and remained in the northern hemisphere for nearly 10 years. Africa called her home in 2012 and she has been working for both our SA and UK offices since. She has visited 13 of the 18 countries we specialise in- her love for adventure and travel is a lifelong passion! By boat, plane or train, Mila is an adventurer at heart and always happy when she is exploring new lodges and locales.

When not working, Mila loves to run, do crafts and bake- and of course, spend time with her dogs!

One thing I always pack on a Safari trip

Insect repellent and sunscreen. Beanies and gloves for early morning game drives- those can be very cold before the sun gets a chance to chase away the mist! And of course, a Kikoi – a wet kikoi is the best way to keep you cool on those hot afternoons in Africa.

What are your favourite types of trips to plan?

I enjoy the multi-country trips, they’re loaded with adventure!

I also really like working on multi-generational trips, balancing everyone’s wishlists is a wonderful challenge and I enjoy knowing that an African safari experience is going to be shared between loved ones.

Where are you planning to visit next?

I plan to visit Kenya and Malawi is still on my wish list
