After graduating from UCLA, her first job was doing documents for the Africa department of a luxury tour operator, and there began her love for planning safaris!

Her travels in Africa have taken her to Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Some of her favorite safari moments include: trekking mountain gorillas in Rwanda, canoeing with crocs and hippos on the Zambezi River in Mana Pools, kissing a Rothschild giraffe in Nairobi, going on a walking safari in Hwange National Park, quad-biking in Namibia, taking a peaceful Mokoro ride in the Okavango Delta, and tracking a hunting leopard on a night game drive in Sabi Sand!

After years of working in the hospitality industry and having the opportunity to travel to a number of international destinations, Sean knew that travel and tourism would be in his blood for years to come. After an opportunity to visit Uganda in 2016 he fell in love with the culture and, upon returning home, bravely asked his wife how she might feel about moving across the world! The two packed up their lives and relocated to northern Uganda in 2017 where they worked with a local education non-profit. Immersing himself among the beauty of the landscape and the culture, Sean fell in love with Africa.

Upon his return to the U.S., Sean began searching for a role that would blend his hospitality and tourism background with his passion and love of Africa. Africa Adventure Consultants enables his passion for high end hospitality while helping people see the beauty this world has to offer. He looks forward to traveling back to Africa as often as he can.

Angie has been an avid and adventurous traveler for years and any description of her enthusiasm for travel is simply an understatement! Born in South Africa and having spent her younger years globetrotting as a third culture kid – wanderlust runs through her blood. Angie completed a bachelor’s degree in social work bringing her passion for people into the mix, and she has been designing and creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for over 6 years.

Angie feels most at home in the bush and returns to her motherland yearly to be surrounded by vast horizons, the calls of native birds and the thrill of seeking out big game. Special moments have been plentiful but some of her favorites have been the adrenaline of a leopard hunt in the Kruger; a lion strolling under the full moon 100ft from her suite in Zambia; navigating the peaceful channels of the Delta by mokoro; a surprise lantern-lit dinner for two on the plains of the Serengeti; and evenings spent in good company wining-and-dining at her favorite local restaurants in Cape Town.
