How did you get involved in travel?

"My journey into the travel industry began in 2006 as a Travel Logistics Officer for Accenture Botswana, where I managed bookings for accommodation, flights, and vehicles for the team. This role ignited my passion for travel, leading me to work with Kwando Safaris, Belmond Safaris, Sense of Africa Botswana, and Safari Destinations. As my interest in the industry deepened, I partnered with Esther from The Eco Travel Boutique, who introduced me to Kim Kim, further expanding my expertise and network in the travel world."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of my most unforgettable travel experiences was a trip to Durban in 2015, where I celebrated my birthday with friends. What started as a short getaway turned into an extended adventure as we decided to continue our journey to Ponta D'Ouro, Mozambique, and spent seven more days soaking in the beauty of the coast. Another remarkable experience was my first safari in Botswana, where we stumbled upon a pride of lions right after they had killed two kudus—it was an awe-inspiring moment that I’ll never forget. Visiting Victoria Falls was also an incredible experience, witnessing the sheer power and beauty of the falls left a lasting impression on me. Each time I meet new people, I always encourage them to visit these places; they hold a special place in my heart and unforgettable memories."
