Born and raised in South Africa near the majestic Drakensberg mountains, Michelle’s family often went hiking, camping, and on safari, so a love for adventure and being in nature runs in her veins! This led her to the tourism industry and traveling through South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Southeast Asia.

Having spent over a decade in the travel industry with exploration into Law and BI Systems, Michelle took a 3-month sabbatical to tour Africa (because being stuck in the mud in Botswana seemed like more fun than being behind a desk during the pandemic).

Since then, Michelle has dusted off the muddy boots and has been selling bespoke high-end travel to Africa. The luxury safari industry let her share her passion for Africa, and now her undercover joy of an advanced spreadsheet and a streamlined system gets its turn to shine!

Michelle is delighted to have found her home amongst the Safari Portal team with some like-minded system geeks.
