Our Team

We are not a faceless travel agency, but a family owned tour operator that prides itself on sharing the wonders of Africa with the Australian travelling public. Here is a little information about the team at Destinations Africa:  

John Mitchell-Adams

Destinations Africa was founded by John Mitchell-Adams after a lifetime involvement with Africa and its wild life. John grew up on a farm in south eastern Zimbabwe and his love of African wildlife and the bush was developed from a very early age. He spent much time in the bush and game reserves in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique, Zambia, Kenya and Botswana and although now living in Australia he has maintained his enthusiasm for the natural habitats of Southern Africa

Hilary Horan

Hilary was introduced to Africa in 2003 and became enthralled with the place, its people and especially the wild life. She is an integral part of Destinations Africa and she uses her love of writing to add to the content of our Message Stick as well as much of the detail on the web site. As a Director she is a great sounding board for all the new destinations that we visit to determine whether or not they should be on our recommended list as she is able to see and experience the many places very much as our clients would.

Sandie Gosper

Sandie has been part of the Destinations Africa Team since February 2009 and is loving her job as a Manager. She was born and educated in Zimbabwe and also lived in Namibia for four years. She has lived in Australia since 1988 when she came here back-packing and met her husband Bruce. Africa is in her blood and her love for the continent is as strong as ever and she is thrilled to be able to introduce other people to the delights Africa has to offer. He clients are all most complimentary about Sandie and her approach to arranging travel.

Faye Hubbard

Faye joined Destinations Africa early in December 2009 and we welcome another South African to our staff. She has lived in Africa for most of her life and her love of African wild life has driven her into the travel industry where she hopes to be able to share her enthusiasm with our clients in planning wildlife safaris. Her work experience includes that of Pachyderm Keeper at the Johannesburg Zoo.

Lauren Novella

Lauren is our newest member to the team. She was born in Cape Town and immigrated to Australia with her family in 1971.  While her background is Sales and Client Management Relationships, it is her passion for travel which has steered her into this industry. Lauren’s extensive travel experience makes her a perfect fit to join the team at Destinations Africa, and is looking forward to helping others achieve their ultimate travel dreams.
