Dieter
Dieter is the other half of this dynamic husband and wife duo. Born in Belgium, Dieter spent 7 years of his childhood in South Africa, residing in the bustling business hub of Johannesburg. Even after moving back to Europe, he could not ignore the call of South Africa, and he continued to visit the country numerous times and even opened up a business in South Africa in 2010. Dieter is an experienced businessman and successfully operates companies in Europe and South Africa. He has an incomparable knowledge about South African markets and the country itself, and is ideally placed to help his clients with organising and hosting their work events, tradeshows and seminars.
Commitment to community
We are passionate about giving back to the South African community and greatly value its heritage and the diversity of its people. It is one of our core values to continuously uplift the community by providing our clients with knowledge and insight into the country’s deep-rooted history.
Another one of our core values is our commitment to sustainable tourism practices and the preservation of South Africa’s wildlife, and the challenges it faces. We will never be affiliated with any hunting or animal interactions of this nature.
