SEAN KRITZINGER
DIRECTOR

Countries visited: USA, Mexico, Belize, Guatamala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Croatia, Namibia, Zambia, Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Kenya, Egypt, Dubai
Favourite Country: "Guatamala, wonderfully colourful people, customs, dress and the Mayan Ruins at Tikal in Guatamala I found most interesting, the Mayans seem to have been before their time in terms of knowledge of the solar system, time and their building of underground cities. "
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Namibia – the openness, quiet, stillness, incredible beauty and the fact that only 1.5 million people live in this vast country so there is always a feeling of space. Wonderful icons are sand-dunes, skeleton coast and Caprivi strip along the Kunene River."
Why choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "Southern Africa has space, a colourful population, many different cultures, very hospitable people, wonderful wines, the wildlife is difficult to beat in terms of variety across the country, quality of accommodation is some of the best in the world, and the history and influence by many European countries over the last 400 years is most interesting to follow ie the Boer wars with Britain etc"


MURRAY GARDINER
DIRECTOR

Countries visited: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Mauritius, Swaziland, Tunisia, Uruguay, Argentina, USA, Portugal, England, Wales, Scotland, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia (Bintan Island), United Arab Emirates, Canada
Favourite Country: "Tunisia - Something completely different!"
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Mozambique - Beautiful unspoilt beaches and Islands, interesting culture & very relaxing"
Why choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "Diverse culture and landscape, stunning weather, amazing wildlife, friendly people, fantastic accommodation ... need I say more?"



WARREN WEITSZ
GILTEDGE GOLF : MARKETING AND SALES MANAGER

Countries visited: United Kingdom, Sweden, South Africa extensively
Favourite Destination: "Sweden – Stockholm is definitely the most beautiful city I’ve been to, from the exceptionally old and wonderfully designed buildings to the parks and waterways that line the city, breathtaking!!!"
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Cape Town – I’m lucky enough to live in one of the most beautiful places in the World, Table Mountain is on our door step, enough golf courses to keep me very happy, beautiful beaches, plenty of wine farms, Cape Town girls!!! It doesn’t get much better than this."



JENNY DIAMOND
INTERNATIONAL MARKETING MANAGER

Countries Visited: All around South Africa, throughout the United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Brazil, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mauritius, Mozambique, Swaziland, Lesotho, Namibia and Egypt.
Favourite Destination: "Alaska – would love to go back as the first visit was far too short! Need time to investigate a bit more and meet the people. The scenery just leaves one in awe of Mother Nature and what she has to offer with all that snow and ice around! Lots of Free Willy impersonators to confuse you, dogs with piercing blue eyes and beautiful fur coats, big brown grizzly bears scooping up red sock-eyed salmon attempting to swim upstream and when they don’t succeed they start eyeing the camera-toting tourists as food to go!"
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Outside of South Africa it must be Mauritius – the locals make you feel welcome from the time you arrive until the time you leave. Their only mission in life is to ensure that you will have a holiday of a lifetime. Their standard response of “No Problem!” implies that they are prepared to do just about anything to make your stay a memorable one and so keep you returning to Ile Maurice again and again!"
Why Choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "If you only have time to visit one country for your vacation then it must be South Africa! We are truly a World in One Country and as the Rainbow Nation we have it all! Some people call it Madiba magic! We are known for our friendliness and generous hospitality, we offer a variety of cuisines from all over the world, our beautiful historical wine estates easily match the best of Europe and we have extreme and adventure sports to die for! Our forefathers left us with a history and culture of such tremendous diversity that you will never be bored listening to our stories – some of them about our turbulent past – the good and the bad, some about our great achievements against all odds and some about our hopes and dreams for the future! Remember we produced the first African in space – Mark Shuttleworth! Of course, there is always the great African safari experience to leave you breathless if all else fails! The Big Five are waiting for you!"



SANDRA DEVOTI
INBOUND MANAGER

Countries visited: Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Egypt, Kenya, Bazaruto Archipelego, Namibia, Botswana
Favourite Destination: "Bazaruto Archipelego - This is THE ideal island getaway…still relatively unspoiled and protected. There are a few excellent lodges / hotels on the islands which offer exclusive retreats. Endless white beaches, azure warm waters and a myriad of tropical fish and coral!"
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Without doubt, it would be the Okavango Delta in Botswana. A wilderness ‘wonderland’ – the excursions on the mokoro dug out boats bring one very close to nature: no sounds other than the singing for birds and the gentle lull of the water…allowing one to get rather close to game drinking along the river banks (and the hippos en route !!!)"
Why choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "Southern Africa is a magical region…visit us once, and you will just want to keep coming back !! Our people, landscapes, game viewing, arts, history, cuisine (and wines !!) reach out, inviting you to share with us the pulsating rhythm of AFRICA!"



STEPHANIE MECONI
SENIOR TOUR EXECUTIVE

Countries visited: France, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Lesotho, all over South Africa
Favourite Destination: "France, this is where the heart is. My home country, I love the small villages and most of all the architecture of the old cathedrals and churches. Unbelievable craftsmanship."
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Namibia – Its vast open spaces, unbelievable landscapes, lodges in the middle of nowhere, it’s a peaceful place where one can forget about everything else and just relax"
Why choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "What can is say, it’s a world in one country, with a diversity of Culture, wildlife, History, not to mention some of the most beautiful properties in the world. It’s also a very affordable destination."



TAMARA WITHERS
SENIOR TOUR EXECUTIVE / INBOUND SENIOR TOUR CONSULTANT

Countries visited: Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland and most of South Africa
Favourite Southern African Destination: "Very hard to say, as from the dry Namibia Desert, to the wetlands of Botswana, the Seven Wonders of the World – Victoria Falls and the warm wet Indian Ocean of Mozambique – my heart is extensively in Africa!!"
Why choose Southern Africa as your next holiday destination: "With such diversity in land, culture and history where else can you find a world in one country. Whether you are passionate about animals, the beach, religion, nature, living on the edge, being culturally enriched, a vibrant nightlife, dining in style, or just savoring the moment, this is a taste of what Southern Africa has to offer as a holiday destination!! The beat of the African drum, the roar of a lion and the heat of the desert, creates the rhythm of silence to enjoy the ultimate experience!!"



ROBYN LEATHERBY
SENIOR TOUR CONSULTANT

Countries visited
: Victoria Falls - Zimbabwe, Chobe - Botswana, Malawi, Maldives, Brazil, Argentina, Hong Kong, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, United Kingdom, France, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.
Favorite Destination: "It has to be the Amazon Jungle in Brazil! I have never ever experienced anything like it. We stayed in a Tree House and had to dodge monkeys who were very keen to jump on us, wherever we went– we were a group of girls, so you can just imagine the pandemonium!! It was an absolute privilege to have been and I hope that there will be an opportunity one day for me to take my family!"
Favorite South African Destination: "I have recently experienced an African Game Lodge and it was absolutely awesome! To be so close to wild animals in their natural environment is something else! Sipping on a G&T in the bush with a stunning African sunset in the background, can surely not get any better!"
Why choose Southern Africa as your next Holiday destination: "South Africa is completely unique, where else can you get so much under one umbrella – wildlife, stunning beaches, beautiful scenery, modern cities, shopping, entertainment and fantastic hotels! Most of all, the friendly people, with 11 different languages being recognized in our country how much more diversity could you ask for! Come and see for yourself, you will keep coming back for more!"



RICHARD ARTHUR
SENIOR TOUR EXECUTIVE

Countries Visited: Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, England, Portugal, Greece, Australia, New Zealand, Mauritius and all of South Africa besides Upington and Pretoria.
Favorite Destination: "Koh Sumui in Thailand, I arrive for 4 days and spent 4 weeks. The most relaxing time of my life and you haven’t been to a party until you have been to a full moon party in Thailand."
Favorite South African Destination: "Plettenberg Bay, I have spent every Christmas and New Year there and just love the place. The people are great, the beaches are amazing and I am still discovering beaches and town’s along the garden route that I didn’t even know existed."
Why choose Southern Africa as you next Holiday Destination: "Basically it is a world in one country. The cosmopolitan cities, the vast open spaces, the diverse cultures, the amazing game viewing, the different vegetation and terrain of the land and the fact that everyone has to see the sun set in Africa before they die"
