Samantha Bedin

With over 17 years’ experience as a trusted travel advisor, Samantha is also extremely well-travelled. She has extensively explored over 72 countries and all six continents. “I am very passionate about travel - seeing new places and experiencing different cultures,” she says. “And every day I get to share my knowledge and experiences with my clients to help them plan their dream trips and finally tick off all their own bucket list desires.”

Samantha is an Africa Specialist, Antarctica Specialist, South America Specialist and South Pacific Specialist. She’s also an Adventure Specialist, Expedition Cruise Specialist, Luxury Specialist and Wildlife Holiday Specialist.

For Samantha, her highlight reel includes drinking fresh mint tea in the markets of Morocco, cycling through rice paddies in Vietnam, and getting married at sunset in Santorini, Greece. It’s also meant spotting wild sea lions in the Galapagos, seeing a cheetah on the kill in Namibia, and eating her way through all the gelato, pizza and pasta in Italy.

Rwanda proved the most life-changing. “I love wildlife and Gorillas are amazing animals, so to actually be that close to them in their own natural habitat and see how they interact with each other in the wild is an amazing experience.”

But her heart always draws her back to South America. “South America has everything - amazing wildlife viewing, interesting cities and ultimately, a great mix of adventure and luxury. It’s full of natural wonders and beauty - like the amazing mountain scenery of the Andes, Torres del Paine National Park, the Atacama Desert and Iguassu Falls.”

When it comes time to book your next holiday, you can trust Samantha to take care of every detail. She is extremely organised, friendly and compassionate towards her clients’ needs. Most of all, Samantha cares. “I care for my clients and I only want the very best for them,” she says.
