Anthea Hendricks

Africa Safari Expert

Having been in the travel industry since 2008, I have cultivated a deep passion for all aspects of travel. Whether traveling solo or with loved ones, every new destination is an opportunity to create unforgettable experiences. These memories inspire me to share that joy with my clients. My goal is to craft personalised itineraries that not only meet but exceed my clients’ expectations. Seeing their travel dreams come to life is the most rewarding part of my job.  

Soulful Safari Reflection

Watching the sunset, sipping my favorite soft drink (Appletiser) on an afternoon/evening drive with Simbambili Game Lodge, and listening to the hyenas in the background is a memory that sets my soul on fire. Another unforgettable moment was seeing a leopard feasting on an impala in a tree while a hyena waited at the bottom, hoping the leopard would drop its kill.  

Most Memorable Experience Organised for a Client?

I arranged a safari for a family of three and met them at The Cape Grace Hotel. As a gift, I bought a little lion teddy bear for their 7-year-old. Seeing the little girl’s face light up when she accepted the gift was a memorable moment for me.  

My Best African Travel Advice

My best advice for African travel is to embrace the diversity of experiences the continent offers. Plan your trips with ample time to explore both well-known attractions and hidden gems. Pack a sense of adventure and openness to fully appreciate the rich cultures, stunning landscapes, and incredible wildlife Africa has to offer.
