Hi, I’m Colette! I’m the Systems and Revenue Manager at Personal Africa, where I get to combine my love for travel with the ever-evolving challenges of this incredible industry. With over 30 years of experience (I know—it sounds like a lifetime!), my passion for travel and hospitality hasn’t waned one bit. In fact, I love it as much today as I did on my very first day.

Throughout my career, I’ve been lucky enough to explore some of Africa’s most breathtaking destinations. Tanzania will always have a special place in my heart—the landscapes, the wildlife, the people, everything about it is magical. Zimbabwe follows closely behind, with its own unique beauty and warmth. My role at Personal Africa is wonderfully dynamic, and every day brings something new. It’s a joy to be part of such a vibrant, fast-paced, and exciting business.

When I’m not diving into the world of travel, I cherish time with my family. I’m a proud mom to two amazing kids who keep me on my toes and remind me to stay young at heart. I share this adventure with my husband, my partner in crime, who is my rock and the foundation of our family.

In my downtime, you’ll often find me curled up by a roaring fire, savouring a good book, a glass of wine, and some dark chocolate—life’s simple pleasures that bring so much joy.
