Background

About Mark Axelgaard

I work with what I’m truly passionate about – creating meaningful, high-quality journeys to Africa and the Indian Ocean. Over the years, I’ve held different roles in the travel industry – as a travel consultant, marketing manager, and owner of my own agency – which has given me a well-rounded understanding of both customer needs and the business side of things. My main focus is tailor-made safaris to countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Madagascar, and South Africa. The goal is always the same: to design a journey that feels right for each traveler and leaves lasting memories. In marketing, I’ve helped shift our focus to digital, working with online visibility and communication without compromising on credibility or quality. Running my own travel company has sharpened my skills across all areas – from itinerary planning and customer care to operations and long-term strategy. I care about the details, about listening, and about offering real value to people who want to explore Africa in a thoughtful way.
