About Tanja Cupido

With a passion for discovering the world, I’ve experienced diverse cultures across multiple continents, yet I still cherish a simple staycation right here in South Africa. My heart is always drawn back to nature and the calm it brings.

I’m a softie for the bush: the magic of sunrise and sunset, waking up to pure natural sound, watching wildlife in their natural habitat, and stargazing under African skies. These moments remind me why Safari remains one of the most meaningful experiences one can have.

Whether close to home or across oceans, my connection to nature shapes how I travel and how I help others experience the world.

Favourite Safari Moment

A late-afternoon game drive in Pilanesberg National Park led us to a rocky outcrop, and there, resting quietly, was a leopard. Elusive and rarely seen, spotting one is always a privilege. This encounter was a true safari treat.

Favourite Safari Activity

Walking Safaris — the most immersive way to learn about the finer details of nature and connect with the environment on a deeper, more meaningful level.

Some of my client reviews

Puja
Working with Tanja to plan our South Africa, Botswana, and Zimbabwe trip was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first conversation, she took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and designed an itinerary that exceeded every expectation. She perfectly balanced Cape Town, the Winelands, safari, Chobe National Park, and Victoria Falls, creating a trip that never felt rushed while allowing us to experience the incredible diversity of Southern Africa. Every recommendation—from our accommodations to the activities—was thoughtfully selected and seamlessly coordinated. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again for a future trip.
Nils
What a wonderful 9 days, from Cape Town to Kruger National Park to Victoria Falls - the perfect combination, with Tanja playing a fantastic role in making it a terrific, smooth and well-appointed adventure. Big thumbs up!
Steve
The Motswari reserve was exceptional as was our cruise on the Zambezi. The trip required flights and drives to the appropriate location and everything was wonderfully coordinated. Tanja, our coordinator, was extremely responsive the whole way through. Looking forward to taking this trip again in the very near future!
