Crafted AfricaWhy not veer off the standard template of holidays and think outside the box?Growing up in the Netherlands, travel was always a key element of my life. As I explored further afield, I was quickly captured by Africa and how the joy of discovering these different countries and cultures can nurture a person’s soul.I had to share this feeling with others and started working in tourism from a young age, almost 20 years ago. In 2017 I opened up my own boutique, luxury travel agency in the Netherlands called ‘Safari Design’, and committed myself to crafting extraordinary experiences across Africa, carefully tailored to my individual clients to ensure that each trip is a trip of a lifetime.In this role, Africa became my second home, but in March 2020 I finally took the plunge and moved permanently to the beautiful Malawi to join my husband and the 'Crafted Africa' dream team. Wines & WingsMy passion for wine has always been there, but it really took off when we opened up our very own wine business here in Malawi, importing fantastic wines from the very best vineyards in South Africa and focusing on the small independent and family run boutique wineries. This business was born during the COVID-19 pandemic when travel was at its lowest and it has blossomed into the biggest wine supplier in the country, enabling the lodges, restaurants, bars, shops and people of Malawi, to provide and enjoy the wine they deserve. Having travelled to many of the vineyards in South Africa’s winelands we are mainly specializing in South African wines, supporting the African continent.
