Lisa’s passion for travel started at an early age, and she’s been hooked ever since. She loves discovering new cultures, meeting interesting people, trying local cuisine, and uncovering the history and stories behind each place she visits. As a travel consultant, she gets to combine her love for exploration with helping others bring their travel dreams to life – whether for work or leisure.

What has been your favorite safari experience?

For me, it’s the unexpected discoveries – finding a hidden viewpoint, stumbling upon a piece of incredible architecture, chatting to a local with an amazing story, or enjoying an unforgettable meal. Those little surprises make every trip unique!

What is one place in Africa that's forever in your heart?

Africa – without a doubt.
There’s nowhere else like it – the landscapes, the wildlife, the energy, the people, and the untamed beauty. A family member from the UK once told me, “Once you’ve felt the African sun on your face, you will always long for it.” That couldn’t be more true for me.
