Meet the team

Mark Marais : Managing Director

Originally from Zimbabwe, Mark has a love for the outdoors, wildlife and foreign cultures which prompted him to start his own travel company. Whilst enjoying seeing the company grow Mark is keen to maintain the high level of friendliness and personal service that has made so many clients become 'friends'. His only regret is that his golf game doesn't do justice to the world class courses he has been lucky enough to play! Mark is the proud father of Louise and Emily, both girls are now well seasoned travellers and are getting into golf.

Anne Kirkpatrick : Administration

"I have been in the travel industry for nearly 20 years. During this time I have had the fortune of educational trips on top of my own trips abroad. My first educational was when I was 18 and I still remember the delight at being offered the chance to camp in France. I also remember the terror of sailing into gale force winds on the Cork to Roscoff Ferry. Among my favourite personal trips are Venice, Rome and Hong Kong. Drinking coffee (or red wine) watching the world going by in St. Marks square, a romantic gondola ride down the Grand Canal, standing in the middle of the Colosseum imagining Gladiator life and haggling in local back street markets of Hong Kong. All experiences I will cherish." Anne

In addition to Mauritius Chaka Travel also offer a wide range of holidays including golf holidays to other destinations - these can be seen at www.chakatravel.com. We have a website dedicated to golf in South Africa, go to golfholidaysinsouthafrica.com.
