Melissa
Melissa fell in love with the travel industry over 15 years ago by chance, and after experiencing her first safari has never looked back. Since then, she has found her ‘ecological’ niche creating unforgettable journeys for her exclusive guests. The ‘perfect vacation’ means something different to everyone and Melissa strives to orchestrate this for each guest.
Melissa's top trips include:
- Tanzania Family Journey – Two families including 7 young Safari Ambassadors. Their trip captured the highlights of Arusha, Ngorongoro Crater, Southern Serengeti & Zanzibar.
- Kenya & Seychelles Honeymoon of a Lifetime – Honeymoon trip which included experiencing the Great Migration while staying in a private concession in the Maasai Mara, a unique sleep-out experience at Elewana Loisaba Starbeds in the Laikipia Plateau region. The couple was delighted by a ‘bucket list’ stay at Giraffe Manor before ending their honeymoon with a luxuriously romantic stay in Seychelles.
Q&A to Get to know Melissa
My absolute best is hearing feedback from guests who have just experienced their first safari. The life-changing wonder & awe you can hear in their voices is palpable!
Hands down Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
Experiencing an almost unheard of ‘Leap of Leopard’ at Londolozi Game Reserve (four to be exact).
In Madikwe Game Reserve…witnessing an impala kill by a leopard, which was then stolen by two lions who in turn were subsequently being stalked by hyena with the same idea to steal the kill.
Catching a pack of wild dogs in action and successfully catching a duiker in the Timbavati Game Reserve.
I’ve always loved to travel, but after my first safari, I wanted to travel & explore AFRICA!
The Mother City of course! There is literally something awesome for everyone to experience.
Polarised sunglasses! All the better to see the animals with!
