Born and Bred
Bernadette was born in the small mining town of Phalaborwa, South Africa, bordering the Kruger National Park. “This gave me an opportunity to be close to nature from an early age which fueled my love for adventure and the outdoors. We moved to Johannesburg at the age of 6 where I completed my schooling and studies. I then moved to Cape Town and I can honestly call this home – what an extraordinary city to live in.”
Highlight of her time in the industry
Bernadette has been in the travel industry for 6 years and has loved meeting like-minded people and being part of the collective growth in tourism.
Travel Expertise
