MozambiqueTravel.com and Voyage2Africa co-founder, Fiona, first discovered Mozambique when she was just 23 years old and when Pemba “was nothing more than a bustling rural village on the edge of one of the world’s lost treasures – the Quirimbas Archipelago.” All good stories begin with our own personal journey…
“I am Born and bred in Africa, Zimbabwe is where I grew up, and I remember holidaying in Mozambique as a child and being captivated by the culture and balmy tropical ocean – and of course the prawns! As a young adventurer, after 6 years working in London, I planned an ambitious expedition to drive across Africa which saw me experiencing 27 African countries and promptly put Mozambique on the top of my list as the most alluring!
I am a founding member and the marketing director of WildLife Adventures which was my first venture – an Adventure Safari Company based in Cape Town and Zimbabwe, I have travelled and guided all over Africa as well as exhibited at trade and consumer shows and seminars all over the world promoting Africa, my passion.
But I didn’t forget Mozambique which kept calling me! And began with the conceptualization, development, and operations of luxury Ibo Island Lodge and Mogundula Island in the Quirimbas Archipelago Mozambique our team, built from grass roots up. I am committed, passionate and proud about the travel industry and feel that Africa is a unique destination.
I am delighted to be promoting the very best safaris to Africa daily to our clients and vast database of people who have become friends along the journey. I have exhibited all over the world promoting Africa, and planned weddings, honeymoons, special celebration holidays, family bonding holidays and group holidays for international clientele throughout Africa since 1995. I offer a proven track record and expert assistance with meticulous attention to detail and most of all passion! Fast forward 25 years and the love affair for planning and promoting African travel is still going strong!”
My love of travel began with the many family holidays I took as a child, the passion growing when I went to Europe and Asia. I fell in love with travel, people and experiencing new destinations and have never looked back! I am an African safari guru creating individual and bespoke holiday packages for discerning clients.
Born and bred in Cape Town, I love my beautiful City and continent as a whole and all it has to offer. I also love sharing my continent with those willing to experience a melting pot of people, sights, culinary delights and various cultures!
I have worked in the travel industry for 19 years and only at 2 companies – for Voyage2Africa and a top luxury safari operator dealing exclusively with demanding American clients. That means I have travelled extensively across Southern Africa to private game reserves including the Kruger National Park, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique, KwaZulu Natal, Gauteng, and Malawi.
I have also travelled further afield – internationally and really enjoyed exploring on my own, having hosted individual travel guests and groups alike. Meeting people from across the globe and learning about new cultures is one of my favorite pastimes! I also realize that I have the ability and opportunity to give my clients a holiday of a lifetime, an emotional experience almost and that is a wonderful way to make a living!
I am a sucker for a sunset and have been fortunate to see many sunsets across the globe – but nothing beats an African sunset! My passion for African travel is undeniable as I believe it runs through my veins. I specialize in individual travel, small group travel and large incentive group travel.
I was born in Johannesburg and grew up in South Africa and have been passionate about the travel industry for the last 18 years. I have been fortunate to travel extensively throughout Africa and some of my fondest memories are from the Quirimbas Archipelago – specially the dolphin safari and the Swahili Crab Curry at Ibo Island, but also my time on the mighty Zambezi River and Vic Falls and Zambia which are memories I cherish. I am lucky enough to have travelled the length of Mozambique visiting all the properties and one of my favourite off the beaten track places is easily Lugenda in the Niassa Reserve.
I always knew I wanted to be in travel and once I finished my Tourism studies I started working for South African National Parks and after that I joined Voyage2Africa and Mozambique Travel, where I have been for the last 15 years!
I love everything about planning holidays for our clients. During my career I have put together weddings, events, honeymoons and celebratory family holidays, safaris and also lots of business and corporate travel. I live, eat and sleep travel and have met amazing people from all over the world. I love promoting Africa and I’m told my passion shines through. I can’t wait to plan your holiday – get hold of me today!
I am based in the beautiful country of South Africa, in Cape Town, and I have a passion for both digital marketing and tourism for Voyage2Africa. Being born in this beautiful city, tends to make you appreciate what we have and so I wanted to give other people the opportunity to have the same experiences.
I completed my studies in both marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) and since then, I have worked for numerous companies and websites before settling down at Voyage2Africa.
During this time, I have always loved and preferred focusing on the travel industry which, in my opinion, is simply a lot more rewarding. When you know that a client enjoyed their latest trip overseas or to a new country, there is a great sense of fulfilment. In my off time I love to explore and be out in nature, from the beautiful African sunsets to free-diving around the coasts of the Cape.
Born in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, I am a qualified Journalist and Environmental Educator. My father was a country vet and taught us a love for animals, writing and landscapes, and my mother was a journalist. So, my writing comes naturally, and travel writing is my passion. I have also covered health issues, news issues, conservation and land issues, education, animal and personality profiles in my articles and online content writing. I find copywriting in all fields challenging and stimulating.
I qualified in 1989 at Rhodes University with my BA in Journalism and English and have tried my level best to steer my writing into the travel / health / conservation / environmental world. I completed my master’s in environmental education, my level 4 certificate in Early Child Development and my certificate in Specialist Peer Recovery Coaching.
I have taught and tutored many kids and youths about the environment, the present environmental crisis and how they can take action for their futures on Earth. I am a vegetarian mother of two young boys, Jordan and Jean. This has made me who I am – I love being a mother. Best of all, I am a passionate health freak who thrives on high levels of energy and wellness, walking and hiking, yoga and gardening are my true hobbies.
