Our Herd
Meet the Team
Robin
Flying Eagle
Eight years in Malawi will teach a person almost everything about a country - the back roads, the good lodges, the friends who become family. Robin has that kind of knowledge, and he puts it to work leading Lowani's day-to-day operations for the Benelux alongside Feline, shaping the same kind of tailor-made journeys she's known for. He is, by nature, the sort of person who is on first-name terms with half of Malawi within a week of meeting them — sociable in a way that turns strangers into friends, and dedicated in a way that means nothing gets left half-finished. These days his year is split between Europe, Malawi and Zambia, but wherever he is, he's usually the one quietly making sure the details behind the scenes actually happen.
Frank
Buffalo Boss
Frank, to say the name Frank is to have a great time. A wonderful and charismatic host, nothing is too difficult for Frank to arrange. Frank is the machine that keeps the wheels turning, the book keeper, the schedule organiser, the bank. However for anyone lucky enough to meet Frank you will also know him as the friend to everyone, the joker, the story teller and the whisky pourer. Not just the administrating Frank is a keen adventurer and his uncanny knack of making friends wherever he goes allows him to keep a keen eye on all the new spaces, places and faces in the countries ensuring we offer the best experiences to our clients.
Sabine
Matriarch Executive
Sabine has lived in Malawi and Zambia for a number of years. Her dedication to family and nurturing nature led her to running a prestigious lodge, whose reviews speak for themselves. We arrived as clients and left as family! Her keen eye for the small details changed a lodge into a home in the bush and keep the clients coming back, sometimes more than once a year. Her warmth is Malawi personified and it is this that curates the special relationships we have with the numerous lodges that look forward to welcoming our guests as they do with Sabine. Sabine helps Feline in curating clients dreams into a reality and the adventures of a lifetime.
Feline
Lionheart Leader
Feline grew up in Malawi, her school holidays were filled with trips to the lake and adventures in the bush. Her passion and love for travel led her to study at hospitality school "The Hague". Here she fine tuned her ability to craft detailed tailor made experiences, curating nothing but the best for the clients she encountered. She might be small however her motivation and drive are mighty. It is hard not to be swept along in the passion Feline has for travel and her desire to share her experiences with you. She will have you climbing mount Mulanje with a smile or canoeing down the Zambezi with gumption. As she details the most magical of places you will find yourself very quickly asking when can we go? Feline’s mix of traveling as a student and working in the luxury market enable her to tailor any itinerary to any budget and her real love for the countries we work in mean she will find only the best places for your trip. You may come as a client but you will leave as a friend, you may even find yourself returning year upon year!
Sarah
European Swallow
Sarah was born in Germany, but Malawi is where she built a life for a few years, long enough to fall properly in love with the place, and long enough that her first child was born there. These days home is Germany again, where she represents Lowani across the DACH countries. But ask anyone who knows her and they'll say the same thing: she's on a plane back to Malawi or Zambia every chance she gets, crossing the same distance the swallows do every year without fail. That back-and-forth life means she knows both worlds properly; the questions a German-speaking guest will actually have, and the answers only someone who has lived it can give. Show her a group heading to Malawi or Zambia, and she'll happily teach them everything she knows and point them toward the places she loves most.
Pemphero
Nyassa lovebird
There's a small, sociable bird found only around the shores of Lake Malawi, forever chattering, rarely seen alone, the Nyasa lovebird. It's a fitting name for Pemphero, who is very much the voice of Lowani on the ground in Malawi. Trained in business management and tourism, she puts both to daily use: coordinating logistics, chasing down details, and making sure every message between Malawi and the rest of the Lowani family actually lands. Guests will probably never notice the dozen small things she arranges before breakfast but, they feel the result of them all day long.
