March 18, 2010 10am MST: The Fazendin Portfolio Full Portfolio Overview. For over a century, travelers have found countless reasons to fall in love with Africa. For some it’s the wildlife, for some the exotic cultures, and for some the endless vistas and vibrant colors in the African sky and earth that evoke many strong emotions.
For us at The Fazendin Portfolio, we fell in love with Africa through the fascinating history of the characters that have spent their lives creating something special in Africa. Whether a luxury beachfront villa or a quirky tented safari camp, each property we represent has been created over time with a foundation of passion by the owners. Whether the rolling grasslands of the Serengeti or the stark sand dunes of Namibia, the destinations we represent have touched these individuals so intensely over the years they have dedicated their lives to making these vistas their home.
From Ethiopia all the way down through Mozambique, the personalities behind our portfolio of owner-operated African safari properties and operators are what make The Fazendin Portfolio unique. These characters are opening their homes and sharing their lives with travelers, and we have the privilege of telling their story here in North America. Today we’ll briefly update you on each of the outstanding properties and operators we represent, a webinar not to be missed! (Register Here!)
