Daniela Fraser

Daniela has spent 22 years in travel, but her route into it has been anything but linear: barista, hotel hostess, front desk, luxury apartments, destination management and, eventually, Rhino Africa Travel Expert. That range shows up in the way she works now. She’s quick, thorough, highly responsive and likes getting guests on the phone early, while the trip still exists mostly as excitement and possibility. She has a natural instinct for Africa’s quieter corners, drawn to remote, off-grid places that offer something truly rare. When guests arrive with a blank canvas, Daniela happily takes the wheel, shaping a standout first-time itinerary and bringing every stop to life. For her, planning isn't an administrative task – it’s an enthusiastic, human conversation where the excitement starts long before a formal quote ever lands in your inbox. A Cape Town local with vibrant Italian roots, Daniela balances her travel world with the delightful chaos of raising two young kids. Beyond mapping out itineraries and family life, you’ll usually find her in constant motion, whether that’s strength training, hitting the tennis court, or squeezing in the occasional ski trip. She also has a soft spot for a good cause, which may explain why her ideal trip tends to have a little substance behind the scenery.
