About me, Kristina, the owner of African Sitatunga Tours

Born in Finland, my curiosity and sense of adventure have always extended far beyond its northern horizons. From an early age, I was drawn to the world beyond—by twelve, my dreams were already shaped by the warmth of the Spanish
sun and a clear vision of a future in guiding, storytelling, and exploration.

After completing my studies, I moved to Germany, where I pursued tourism and gained practical experience working during every holiday at a Finnish travel agency.

These early years laid the foundation for a lifelong passion and a career defined by dedication to meaningful travel.

Kristina from African Sitatunga Tours

Travel has always been my compass—constant, unwavering, and deeply personal. I feel truly privileged to be living the dream I first imagined as a child.

My journey has taken me across Europe and ultimately to Namibia, which has been my home for more than 32 years. Here, surrounded by the vast and powerful landscapes of Africa, I immersed myself in all aspects of the tourism industry, including travel design, international marketing and trips (Central Europe and Finland) lodge management and staff training I have explored Namibia extensively, lived in Zimbabwe, travelled through South Africa, and journeyed through Botswana with my husband (one of the oldest and most experienced guides) —each experience deepening my understanding of the continent and its stories.

Over the years, I have designed countless tailor-made itineraries, each crafted with care and insight, guiding travellers into the heart of Africa. My guests are never just clients; I accompany them with personal attention, support, and commitment, ensuring their journeys become lasting memories.

After the loss of my husband, I chose to continue the dream we built together. African Sitatunga Tours is more than a company—it is our shared vision and a living tribute to the passion we held for Africa and its transformative power. Every journey I design honours his spirit and our belief that Africa touches people in ways no other place can.

With my personal experience, in-depth regional knowledge, and heartfelt connection to the land and its people, your journey becomes more than a holiday—it becomes an authentic and unforgettable chapter of your life.

Let me guide you into the Africa we fell in love with …so that its magic may become part of your story too.
