Janine Bellis
Senior Travel Consltant

Janine’s passion for Africa and its wild life began at a young age. Whilst living in Zambia, by the time she was 6 years old she was assisting bottle feeding orphaned elephant calves and taking family holidays to the Kafue National Park. Later, the family moved to live in South Africa where she spent her early teens before finishing her schooling in Britain.

By then Africa was under her skin and it was only natural that she studied travel and tourism and began a career specializing in selling Africa as a destination. She has an extraordinary level of knowledge in African tourism, but her passion still lies in Zambia home to the walking safari and often referred to as the ‘Real Africa’.
