For me, the true essence of traveling is putting the camera aside and completely absorbing the moment in nature. There's nothing quite like the awe and humility you feel when you experience the incredible diversity and wild wonders of Africa up close.

Experience & background

Since entering the industry in 2013 and starting her traditional travel consultancy in 2022, Dana Leidel has established herself not only as a South Africa specialist, but also as an expert in luxury and customized travel experiences.

Personal life

Dana's personal travel adventures, particularly her first safari experiences and walking safaris in the bush, have had a profound impact on her life. These experiences have not only awakened her passion for Africa, but have also shaped her approach to travel consulting. She firmly believes that a good individual trip should fulfill the individual wishes and dreams of every traveler. Dana advises travelers to take their time, really absorb their surroundings and enjoy Africa's breathtaking wildlife with all their senses.
