Felicity, who joined Africa Travel in 2004, has worked in the travel industry for over 30 years and originally comes from South Africa's KwaZulu Natal province. Felicity is very well - travelled and has exceptional knowledge. Her favourite destinations in Africa are Botswana, The Seychelles, Tanzania and Mozambique. She lives her life according to the words of Mark Twain - "twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did do. So catch the trade winds in your sails, explore, dream, discover". When not dreaming and discovering, Felicity enjoys spending quality time with her family, gardening, oil painting and cooking up a storm.
