Luke and Suzanne have 20+ years of combined experience in the international luxury travel industry. Prior to going off on their own they have worked in Leading Hotels of the Worldacclaimed properties in Europe and the Middle East.  They have also managed, sold and marketed for ground operations and properties in Botswana and Zimbabwe with great success.   

Now Luke and Suzanne have created Vayeni - their personal dedication to ensuring that the very finest escapes possible can be realised by travellers visiting Zimbabwe and the region.  Through this they believe visitors will have their souls truly touched by this area's people, it's incredible wildlife and the dedication by so many to its conservation for future generations. 

My love of Africa started over 30 years ago and I have been exploring this amazing continent ever since. From my early days of backpacking and working in lodges, then driving through Africa to deliver a Landrover for Save the Rhino International, to founding Farside Africa in 1998. Africa has never failed to inspire me and I think of it as my second home. I have had the pleasure of sharing this beautiful, awe-inspiring continent with my clients for over twenty years and still get elated hearing their wonderful feedback, special memories and amazing adventures on their return. I will never tire of introducing people to the beauty of Africa. Let’s explore together.
