Marion’s biography
Ever since she was young, Marion has had a passion for wildlife and the African bush. After receiving a Diploma in Hotel Catering Management, Marion started her career at the stunning &Beyond Phinda Forest Lodge in KwaZulu-Natal, followed by working at some of the top hotels in Johannesburg.
For the last 10 years, Marion has worked with leading tour operators in South Africa, including Wilderness Safaris, and she has gained incredible knowledge of the US market – in particular, its high-end bracket. It was during this time that she had the opportunity to explore further into Africa, visiting places such as Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Although Marion, her husband, and two children now live in London, her heart and home will always be in Africa.
Client reviews
“Yellow Zebra was an excellent choice. Matthew C & Marion were incredibly helpful. We were unsure of where we wanted to go and he helped us narrow it down. Every detail was perfectly taken care of. The Entamau Private and Kaskaz Mara camps were fabulous! Both very different which made the experience that much richer. All of our guides were excellent and very knowledgeable, and took very good care of us. We had to postone due to COVID and they took very good care to rebook us. Highly recommend!!"
