Donna Armstrong

Travel has been Donna's passion since her teenage years when she spent her summers interrailing around Europe. After taking the obligatory gap year after University to backpack around Australia, she knew that she wanted to turn that passion into her vocation. Donna's initial role in the travel industry was with a large tour operator focused mainly on European and Asian destinations. A move to Mahlatini many years ago ignited a lifelong love for Africa and her amazing wildlife, people and landscapes; the place Donna now considers as her spiritual home.

Absolutely out of this world, we truly had an amazing experience

"When we had our first trip with Mahlatini we thought it would never be topped, but our last was even better. Donna smashed it out of the park again. She built our holiday around exactly what we asked for, and it was perfectly tailored to our needs."
