Tessa is the owner of Jouw Afrika Reis and Gravel Africa. Tessa specializes in organizing exclusive tailor-made dream trips for Southern Africa. For years she has been organizing trips for people who want to make a unique trip in, among others, Namibia, Botswana, Tanzania, and South Africa. Often these are self-drive trips with hotels and lodges along the way, but there are also many people with a 4X4 car with a tent on the roof going on a trip. All locations where Tessa lets people stay overnight are all locations she has personally visited and she works with regular partners because in Africa not everything always goes as you would wish. Tessa thinks that a trip organized by her is a 'once in a lifetime experience' By building a good relationship and keeping in touch with her partners in Southern Africa many problems are prevented and when something goes wrong it is quickly resolved because of the good contacts. As a European, you are far from home in a different culture, so it must be good for each other. The premise that your journey is a 'once in a lifetime' experience' is also the starting point for organizing bike trips. Especially these trips, where a lot of effort delivered must be in good order. Because after a cycling day you want good food, sleep in a good bed, and to start the next day with a tasty and hearty breakfast. After all, the necessary kilometers have to be covered but Tessa doesn't forget that enjoying the moment on the way  is very important.
