Adele Roux Destination Specialist

I love South Africa. It is the country of my birth and where I continue to leave my heart through all of my travels. I was born in Kimberley, but spent most of my childhood in small towns along the beautiful Garden Route. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home.  I feel such a deep sense of pride to live in this incredible country.

My passion for travel started at an early age, as my family traveled throughout Southern Africa at every opportunity.  I soon learned that it's really not only about the destinations that you reach; it's the whole journey and what you get to experience along the way. I love good food, good company, campfires and a wide open sky. And these are the things that Africa is all about.

When I finished school, the choice to turn my love for travel into my career was a natural one. So, I studied travel and tourism, and have been helping people plan their tailor-made African safaris and holidays for the past 15 years. I started as a destination specialist at SA Tours and Safaris, where I sold beautiful South African safaris for four years. Then, I joined Siyabona Africa, which meant extending my services to the greater area of Southern Africa. From here, I became a travel agent at the leading East African company, Asilia. I became the Sales Manager after two years, with a team of consultants around South and East Africa. All of this enabled me to travel extensively and get a real taste of what worked and what didn’t. After four years as Sales Manager, I was excited to join the Eyes on Adventure team, as this was the opportunity I wanted to take me even further afield in my travels and experience.

I still love every second of selling our beautiful continent and fulfilling someone’s dream to travel.

I have traveled extensively within South Africa, as well as all over Southern and East Africa. Some of the most notable places I’ve visited include Namibia, Malawi, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. Internationally, I’ve also traveled through Europe, Thailand and various parts of the USA.

I joined the Eyes on Adventure team in 2014, and am now thrilled to be able to grow with them, and to expand my destinations and the experiences I can offer to other countries throughout Africa, Asia and the Americas. I love learning about and experiencing new places and cultures first hand, and EOA gives me the opportunity to spread my travel wings and explore, ultimately sharing my adventures with my clients.
