ASHLEIGH CAMPBELL ashleigh@bespokedestinations.co.za

I was born in Zimbabwe, spending my early years on sugar-cane farms before moving near Kruger National Park. Over 25 years ago, I relocated to Cape Town and worked at Table Mountain, a natural wonder. With over two decades in tourism, I served as a sales and events consultant for a national hotel brand, promoting Africa. I collaborated with Muslim Tourism Associations and supported Mecca tourist packages. Building strong supplier relationships in yacht cruises, kayaking, attractions, and hotels allowed me to offer diverse travel options for customer satisfaction. I believe partnering with Bespoke Magazine can enhance Cape Town’s tourism and showcase Africa’s splendors.

JACQUES POTGIETER jacques@bespokedestinations.co.za

As the owner and operator of Sheerguard Pretoria, a dynamic security company specializing in top-tier solutions for residential and commercial needs, my journey has been one of entrepreneurial dedication. Raised on a farm in Limpopo province, my early years instilled a deep affection for the African bush. My interests in fishing, hunting, and travel have not only brought me personal joy but also connected me with fellow enthusiasts who share my passion for this remarkable continent. Through my experiences and interactions, I have come to believe that Bespoke Destinations serves as the ideal platform for uniting local individuals like myself with international travelers eager to explore the wonders of our extraordinary continent.

It’s a privilege to contribute and facilitate these connections through the pages of this magazine.

MEGAN MULLER megan@bespokedestinations.co.za

Megan Muller, presently a devoted mother residing in the Netherlands, possesses a law degree and boasts extensive experience in the realm of print media, particularly specializing in the world of luxury. She relocated to the Netherlands alongside her family, where she is presently immersed in the process of learning Dutch and, interestingly, has embarked on the endeavor of cycling, favoring it over driving, albeit with a preference for the latter.

She also engages in freelance work as a luxury consultant for both print and digital media.

Becoming a mother has significantly shifted her perspective from the opulent lifestyle she once cherished.

While she still holds an affinity for life’s finer aspects, Megan aspires to cultivate a simple and authentic upbringing for her children, one that emphasizes values and experiences over material wealth.

4. A Wealth of Skill and Creativity: South Africa boasts a thriving creative industry, with designers who are known for their talent and innovation.

We offer a variety of unique Educational Travel Programs to South Africa, specifically designed for international learners between the ages of 8 and 17, accompanied by some of their teachers.

Our own journey started as private school teachers in the Limpopo Province back in 2002, from where we passionately launched into Educational Youth Travel, after having followed up on a rare opportunity that came our way at the time. Since then, our main activities have been focused on the French International Youth Travel market, which we continue to serve at present, through the organization and facilitation of our unique brand of English, language and culture based Educational Programs.

Over the years, we successfully hosted more than 250 school groups from France, Reunion Island, Nigeria, DRC, and Gabon, which gained us a solid reputation based on professionalism, appropriate and highly educational program content, as well as excellent value for money.

Educational Youth Travel Programs

DEST IN AT IO N S

Most of our current trip-offerings aim at providing learners with an opportunity to improve their English language skills, while also discovering various aspects of the rich cultural and natural diversity of our country. An essential ingredient of many of these programs, is the establishment of a close contact with a local school, and more specifically with South African learners of around the same age. We achieve this by initiating unique contact opportunities with some of our local schools, and also by integrating an optional family homestay phase into the program, for older learners between the ages of 13 and 17. However, our Program content remains flexible and fully-negotiable, and can be adapted to all needs.

The most popular Program duration is between 10 and 15 days, and trips can be scheduled for any time of the year.

Transport is by means of fully chartered, luxury, air-conditioned busses. We provide a qualified tour-facilitator who welcomes the group on arrival at the airport, and then accompanies the group for the duration of their Program, in order to assume his role as their guide and informer during the trip, while also being tasked with the smooth facilitation of the Program itinerary.
