Rene Carelse

I worked in the sailing industry on luxury yachts as a stewardess and cook. I sailed the Mediterranean, Mexico, USA, Caribbean and I also sailed from Cape Town to Trinidad and Tobago a few years ago to deliver a yacht. I have my Reiki Masters certificates, I travel led to India to complete a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training course, endorsed by Yoga Alliance USA. I lived in a camper-van and traveled around South Africa for 3 years living the van life movement. I lived in Democratic Republic of Congo for a year and a half managing the Food and Beverage Department for a boutique hotel that catered to high-end executives, engineers and geologists in the mining industry. I moved to New York for 8 months and explored the Big Apple, Long Island, The Hampton's and then journeyed to Mexico for 6 months to work on another sail boat.

I've been working in the safari industry for 7 years, taking people on overlanding tours across the southern hemisphere of Africa. We explored Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland (Eswatini) Mozambique, Zimbabwe. At times I guided and cooked for the entire group of 23 passengers over a period of 21 days. I led clients on various tours, some were camping and others accommodated. I have experienced numerous game drives, countless beauty , mystery and history of these countries. I love Africa, and I would love to host you during your bucket list trip to South Africa.

My favorite traveling trips include the ocean, wildlife, trees and mountains. I love trying local cuisine and spending time different cultures.

I travel to expand my soul's growth and consciousness. My mantra is : Surrender, my philosophy: Life will teach you what you need to know and my essence is: wanderer. I believe we can learn from nature, communicate with animals and recharge our body by immersing in nature and respecting every inch of Mother Earth, whose name is Gaia.
