Annie Lin

HEAD OF DESTINATION MANAGEMENT

I was born in Taiwan and moved to South Africa with my family as a child. My passion for the travel industry led me to study Travel & Tourism, and I began my career in the hotel sector.

I first worked at a luxury hotel in Taipei, then gained further experience at various establishments in Cape Town.

By chance, I transitioned into the incentive industry, which opened up exciting opportunities to travel to many countries outside of South Africa. This experience eventually led me to specialize in luxury travel and safari planning, where I am today.

I truly enjoy helping plan unforgettable trips and creating lasting memories for my clients. Over the years, I’ve built a wonderful network of friends and industry connections.

HIGHLIGHTED TRAVEL MOMENTS

Botswana​

The land of plenty. With a good mixture of land and water activities. A highlight for me was the mokoro trips and the wildlife.

India

India is a diverse country with vibrant colours, delicious food, and a very interesting culture. Home to one of the wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal is spectacular and a definite highlight of my trip.

Namibia

I love Namibia – it has it all, beach, sand dunes, rock art, wildlife and the indigenous Himba tribes. The people in Namibia are super friendly and welcoming.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
