Nonny dlamini
JOURNEY DESIGNER
Having grown up in South Africa, the outdoors and being on safari have always been an important part of my life. It was therefore only natural that my love for the African bushveld turned into my job. I am passionate about planning African adventures and working with clients every step of the way to create the perfect journey for them. My favorite animal is the African Elephant ... going on safari is not complete unless I encounter one !
