Tania | Expert Page | Ultimate Travel Company

Tania

Driven by a love of learning, Tania is always seeking new stories, landscapes and wildlife across Africa. From riding through the Masai Mara and cruising Zambia’s Luangwa River to exploring Botswana’s remote camps, she never tires of the continent’s endless variety.

Cassie

Africa has always felt like home to Cassie. Having grown up near Kruger and the Mozambique border, she still returns whenever she can — waking to the sounds of Mana Pools, exploring the Serengeti, and helping others fall in love with the continent time and again.
Sophie | Expert Page | Ultimate Travel Company

Sophie

For Sophie, it’s the quieter moments of an African journey that stay with you: the first hippo call at dawn, giraffes drinking at sunset, tracking chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains. After living in Tanzania, she continues to explore the continent’s wild places, from the Rufiji River to Zimbabwe’s game reserves.
