Africa Travel Specialist

Natasha joined us in 2003, initially working part-time as she finished her Business diploma. Today she is a Senior Travel Consultant looking after our European & North American agents

Natasha is a self-confessed sunset fanatic, so apart from the wildlife, the one thing that she looks most forward to during a safari – ending the day with a glorious African sunset. She may be biased, but Natasha truly believes that nothing comes close to witnessing an African sunset.

Natasha is also our resident Namibia aficionado. She loves everything about this country and especially enjoyed the unique landscapes, from the desert to the Sossusvlei area and Damaraland. She shared that these are the areas where she feels most at one with nature.

Most Memorable Sighting?

I’ve had some of the most amazing sightings in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, but by far the most thrilling, was my first leopard kill at Mala Mala Game Reserve. The stalk was lengthy and silent, but the kill was over in a blink of an eye. This played off in complete darkness, with the sky occasionally being lit up from the thunderstorm that played off in the background. This was probably the most dramatic background that we could have asked for and I could not care less that we got completely drenched.

What are your favourite types of trips to plan?

Family trips, as these are often the holidays when a deep connection and passion for Africa is formed in the younger generations. I also love crafting celebratory holidays like honeymoons or birthdays- it’s always special to play a part in a celebration!

What is your favourite indulgence to enjoy at a lodge or hotel?

Indulging in the delicious spread of treats during afternoon tea at a lodge- just before it’s time to get ready for the next spectacular sunset!

What is the one thing you want people to remember about their time in Africa?

The feeling of rejuvenation that comes from being in the great outdoors.

Natasha's Favourite Destinations

Sossusvlei & Namib Desert

To experience the high dunes of Sossusvlei at sunrise is one of the most mesmerising sights in Namibia, a must on anyone’s list…

Damaraland

Damaraland’s innate rugged beauty and the chance of tracking its desert-adapted elephant and rhino offer a mesmerising combination.

Sabi Sand Game Reserve

The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve offers some of the finest Big Five game-viewing in Africa with extraordinary close sightings of the elusive leopard & other predators.
