Meet the LB Safaris team

Natalie Sadler - El-Ria Bense -   Erica de Wolde -  Simon Brokke

Our team has mainly two qualities in common. A passion for Southern Africa and travelling. Together we have at our disposal a rather large amount of knowledge and experience. Combined with our often unique and special contacts we are able to offer far more than just an average holiday or trip!

We enjoy the challenge of helping you experience a beautiful region with exceptional countries as well as experiencing the soul of Africa.
