"I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy"

Hein and Melissa met during the pandemic and quickly discovered a shared passion for the African bush. With years of experience in the travel industry, they combined their expertise to begin curating itineraries themselves - journeys designed to capture the spirit of adventure and the beauty of Africa.

Their love of exploration has taken them across the globe, from guiding safaris in Africa to guiding expeditions in the Polar regions. Along the way, they’ve met incredible people and inspired many to discover Africa for themselves.

This passion for adventure and connection fuels their drive to ensure African Origins delivers a truly personal touch to every journey.

For Hein and Melissa, it’s not just about travel - it’s about creating experiences that leave lasting memories and a deep appreciation for the wild places of our world.
