Niki Duncan

Complete with a university degree in Tourism and several years experience in various aspects of the African travel industry, Niki Duncan is the ideal person to help you plan your trip to Africa! She has recently returned from a stint in Japan where she joined her husband to teach English in the local schools. We're happy to have her back on the team after surviving the Asian culture and living in the concrete jungle! Needless to say she missed the beauty of Cape Town and is glad to be back planning beautifully tailormade travel itineraries in Africa.
