Ivana Fiveash Travel Assistant Team Leader

I have been working in travel industry for more than 15 years. A lot of that time was spent working overseas in Europe, the UK and South Africa. I specialise in these areas as well as Africa and the Indian Ocean, both of which I have a great passion for. They say once you experience Africa, you’ll never get it out of your system. For me that is so true!

I started with Phil Hoffmann Travel in 2008. I enjoy the diversity of my job - selling different destinations and styles of travel and sending my clients off on their dream trips all over the world, particularly to Eastern Europe from where I hail.

travel tips

• Although I’m not a morning person, I love morning game safaris. A nice cup of hot chocolate and a warm blanket make it even more enjoyable! Safaris are something the whole family can enjoy together. There are many Malaria- free game reserves in South Africa that give you that extra piece of mind when travelling with young children.  

hot picks

• Africa - Spend at least one night in treetop accommodation or a tent (can be luxury) in Africa.There is nothing quite like listening to the sounds of nature all around you as you drift off to sleep.
