Alyssa Bauer
Reservations Consultant
As a Reservations Consultant at Somak, I specialise in creating tailor-made safaris across Southern and East Africa, along with idyllic escapes to the Indian Ocean Islands. With over 19 years in the travel industry, I’ve been blessed to explore destinations like South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Dubai, and the Indian Ocean Islands. Each journey has deepened my passion for travel.
Travel has always been my storybook, and I love sharing that magic with clients. Whether it’s a romantic retreat or a bucket-list adventure, I find joy in turning dreams into reality and hearing how each journey exceeded expectations.
My recent trip to Kenya’s Masai Mara helped me discover the vibrant energy of Nairobi, and I’m drawn to places where nature, authenticity, and luxury come together. Some of my favourite stays include Steenberg Hotel, Ololo Safari Lodge, Lux Grande Gaube, Zuri Zanzibar, and Uga Ulagalla. My perfect escape? Bottomless buttery croissants, fresh drinks, a gentle 25°C breeze, and a mix of rustic charm with plush comforts.
Proudly South African, I’m happiest outdoors, exploring hidden gems with my family through gardening, hiking, or wandering off the beaten path, sometimes getting lost leads to unforgettable discoveries.
