Profile

Outdoor Enthusiast and PublisherI I am deeply passionate about the natural world and have channeled this passion into various pursuits throughout my life. As the Editor and Publisher of the monthly online magazine “SAFARI South Africa,” I combine my love for African safaris with a dedication to sharing insightful narratives and stunning visuals that capture the essence of wildlife and adventure in South Africa.

My journey into the realm of equitation spans across all disciplines, including Dressage, Eventing, and Showjumping, where I actively participated and honed my skills. Additionally, my role as a breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses reflects my commitment to excellence and a deep understanding of animal welfare and performance.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I find solace and inspiration in nature. Whether exploring the untamed wilderness of Africa or nurturing a profound appreciation for animals and the great outdoors, I am continually driven by a desire to connect people with the beauty and diversity of our natural world.

TOURISM MEETS FITNESS…FEBRUARY 2021

Joined forces with a Pretoria gym, FITNESS JUNCTION which is a fitness centre focused on the need for fitness in townships and rural areas, owned by Dr. HAJIRA MASHEGO.
Dr Mashego is a qualified sport physiotherapist who studied further to complete a Mastersdegree in Public Health (with a focus on fitness) and a PhD in Human Science (also focusingon fitness). She has vast experience in sport physiotherapy, exercise science and sport management and has served a combined 25 years in the health, wellness and sport sectors.
Covid 19, paradoxically, opened a door for the tourism industry to introduce South Africans toSouth Africa. Domestic travel decreased by 10 million by the end of 2015 (source Dept. Of Stats.Sa).
This campaign, in a small way, introduced Mpumalanga in a way never done before. Due to the Covid pandemic, gym activities were curtailed and the obvious solution was supplementary fitness activities in the open. Emphasis is on hiking and adventure activities but simultaneous participation in the scenic, wildlife, historical, geological activities Mpumalanga offers.
