Meet the team

Marco has dedicated a great portion of his life to sharing his boundless love of Africa with guests from all over the world. His passion was ignited on his first visit to the Kruger National Park a little over 30 years ago. The call of Africa with its unique wild experiences led him to travel extensively throughout Southern and East African game reserves. Now, with more than 25 years experience in travel and YPO\WPO event creation, visiting over 50 of Southern Africa’s most exclusive game lodges, and personally experiencing safaris over 100 times; he has an unsurpassed first-hand knowledge of Sub-Saharan Africa and everything the discerning traveler desires.

Casey is an adventurous spirit with a deep love of the wild. Having travelled widely with her family whilst growing up, she dedicated her career to the travel industry after achieving a qualification in marketing and communications. Her explorations have taken her all over Africa, as well as provided the opportunity to live and work in New Delhi India for three years. She brought back an understanding of travel in diverse contexts and applies her extensive knowledge as our business development and marketing manager.

Robin has been in the travel industry for over 20 years. His multi-faceted career began with overseeing local teambuilding events, later expanding into outbound MICE tourism. His current role encompasses his ultimate passion: making travel dreams a reality for international guests into Africa. Robin caught the travel bug at a young age and his career has allowed him to explore most parts of Southern and East Africa, as well as many other parts of the world. A self-confessed foodie, he loves to stay in touch with what’s new, hot and happening. His other interests include fitness and photography.
