Namaste, I’m Rene Carelse, 

a safari and nature guide. I led safari tours across 6 southern African countries since 2017 and spent an additional 3 years in the sailing industry as a stewardess and cook in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.  Before that, I sailed from Cape Town to Trinidad and Tobago as part of 3 crew delivering a yacht. I am a qualified 200H Yoga teacher, hold my Reiki Masters certificate, Crystal Healing therapy and am a qualified Nature Guide.

Through these years of chartering elite expeditions, I envisioned a niche travel agency that would host Wellness Vacations by adding holistic experiences  as part of a City and Safari Culture Trip in South Africa.

We are Cape Town and Safari experts. I am Capetonian by birth and I have spent 7 years as a guide in the fields of Southern Africa: (Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique)
