Mahlatini Luxury Travel is pleased to announce the appointment of Vanessa Dean as its new Product Manager, aligned to ambitions to expand its portfolio in other African destinations, and beyond.

Mahlatini marks a major milestone this month as it celebrates 20 years in luxury African travel. Born in 2002 from a personal passion for safari, selling only South Africa to the UK market; Mahlatini has since curated thousands of extraordinary bespoke trips across sub-Sahara Africa and the Indian Ocean to a global client base, with a team based in UK, Europe and South Africa.
