is a qualified typographer and incredibly strict with the team when it comes to travel documents. Her trained eyes scrutinise spacing, colour nuances, folds and printed sheets and nobody is allowed to touch a thing without good and valid reason. Katrin had the carefully selected office interior shipped from South Africa so that our clients may experience an air of Africa as they breeze through the door.

Various trips to southern and eastern Africa followed from 1998 onwards. From 2007 until 2009 he and his wife, Katrin Lüthi, ran Wilderness’ Tubu Tree Camp in Botswana’s Okavango Delta.
