About Carla

I am a born and bred South African with a love for our culturally diverse country. I have also traveled to over 50 countries and know the importance of having someone with local knowledge and advice to give you tips on where to go for those unforgettable experiences. I am the managing director of an inbound tour operator offering unique and customized tours for individual and group international travelers wanting to explore our beautiful country. I love making people's dreams a reality and finding unique and off-the-beaten-track places. I am also the founder of a non-profit organization that runs various humanitarian and conservation projects in Africa. These projects vary from assisting schools in townships with managing, fundraising, and renovations to sports development projects; teaching skills such as swimming, skating, and surfing, and allowing participants to compete nationally.

Why is Carla the right travel expert?

I have a great passion for South Africa and love exploring its diverse landscapes, tasting foods of international standards, sipping on world-class wines, and immersing myself in the many cultures and the history of our country. I love to show off our country and believe strongly in cross-cultural understanding. I think that people from different cultural backgrounds learn to understand each other through travel. I believe in creating a sustainable and ethical bridge between tourists and locals wanting to assist communities in need, as demonstrated through my non-profit organization.
