Introducing our expert - Cassie, who specialises in travel to South Africa, and has taken a few stunning shots during her travels (pictured)!⁠ ⁠ ''When my parents flew us out to South Africa when I was aged 6, it was the beginning of a never ending love story with the continent. We were lucky enough to live 30 minutes away from the Kruger National Park and 2 hours from Mozambiquan border, both of which leant themselves to some pretty incredible experiences. In amongst the various African travels to the likes of Angola and Malawi, we ventured further afield to places like Alaska, Antarctica and Indonesia and Nepal, but we always end up veering back to Africa.⁠ ⁠ Anyway, the travel bug got me at a young age and has led to numerous solo trips to South America, Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand and eventually it dawned on me that a career in travel was what I wanted. So here I am! Being able to facilitate and inspire others to visit Africa, whether it be for the first or fifteenth time, is an absolute pleasure.''⁠ ⁠ To start planning your Ultimate itinerary - call our experts on 020 3553 0208 ⁠ ⁠ #theultimatetravelcompany #theonlywaytotravel #ultimatetravel #escortedtours #tailormadeholidays #africa #africatravel
