Our Story

Travel is not just what we do.
It is who we are.

Ocean & Safari was born from a simple belief — that extraordinary travel begins with people who truly love it.

About Us

A Computravel Company

Ocean & Safari is a luxury travel brand by Computravel — one of Southern Africa's first online travel agencies, co-founded in 2008. For over 25 years, we have helped discerning travellers explore unforgettable destinations across Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands and beyond.

What sets us apart is simple: our consultants have been there. We have stayed in the lodges we recommend, sailed on the ships we book, and walked the shores we describe. When you plan a journey with us, you are not speaking to an algorithm — you are speaking to someone who has lived the experience.

As ASATA members, we bring the access, relationships and expertise of a fully established travel business — delivered with the personal attention of a boutique consultancy.

Your journey begins the moment we connect — and I make sure every moment after that is extraordinary.

Travel is my passion, and has been since my early 20s. From backpacking across Europe to working in London's vibrant fashion scene in the ‘70s, my journey has taken me from New York to the Caribbean, and beyond. But my heart has always belonged to Africa. I've lived and travelled extensively across South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Namibia; and explored Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia. After years in event management and communication training, I co-founded Computravel in 2008, one of Southern Africa's first online travel agencies. Since then, we've helped travellers explore unforgettable destinations, especially across the Indian Ocean Islands and Africa. As an avid traveller, you can read more about my travel experiences on my Yours in Travel blog.

With us, your journey is seamless, from planning to touchdown. Let's connect and create an unforgettable experience for you.

I've travelled most of the globe and I'm still not done. That curiosity is exactly what I bring to planning your journey.

I was born in Denmark but moved to the southern tip of Africa at the age of 4. Travel has always been part of my DNA. I moved back to Denmark for 2 years after completing school and in 1991 on my return to Cape Town, I obtained my Travel diploma after studying tourism at college. I began my career in travel shortly after that, and have since explored much of the globe, including USA, South America, Europe and Scandinavia, the Far east and the beautiful Indian Ocean Islands on familiarisation trips. I am just missing the 7th continent, Antartica. In 2019, I joined Computravel, making the move from corporate to leisure travel. It opened up a whole new world, one I truly love. Helping clients plan unforgettable getaways is both a privilege and a passion, and I'm dedicated to delivering the best possible experience every time.
