Umlingo Travel PR offers freelance PR, specialising in African hotels and lodges. Founder Claire Roadley has over 25 years of experience in Travel PR - promoting tourism to (mostly) Africa in partnership with travel agents, tour operators, airlines and tourist boards. She has longstanding relationships with the key travel writers, publications and editors and has hosted numerous group press trips over the years as well as fam trips for the trade.

Umlingo also supports Tuk South (pro bono), who recently completed their expedition by tuk tuk from Kenya to Cape Town, raising funds For Rangers and telling sustainability stories as they go.
