Marieke Uphoff arrived in South Africa for the first time in 2006. She was so impressed that she kept on coming back in the years to follow. Marieke had already been working for years at a travel agency in the Netherlands, but when she got an opportunity to work from Cape Town she didn’t hesitate. The bags were packed and she left with her husband Vincent to Cape Town. After a few years, they were blessed with a little daughter, Josephien. Now she is our safari-expert and knows all the kid-friendly places, the best restaurants “in town”, and the most beautiful cultural sights in and around South Africa.
