Lauren Johansson

For someone who thinks cage diving with Great White Sharks is a great way to spend the weekend, it should come as no surprise to learn that Lauren's attitude to life is to live it to the fullest.

A cliché perhaps but there is nothing clichéd about a life that has taken her from a remote sheep farm in the Eastern Cape to living and working in places as varied as Kenya, France and the Seychelles. On the East Africa team at G2A, she has extensive knowledge of Kenya and Tanzania.

"Get out of the city at the weekend" advises this happy-go-lucky optimist, "and get rid of negative attitudes". Passionate about Africa and possessing a daredevil streak, Lauren admits to having her energy levels compared to a scud missile.
