GET TO KNOW THE TEAM
AT TRACK & TRAIL RIVER CAMP
MEET THE TEAM
THAT CALL SOUTH LUANGWA THEIR HOME
Track and Trail River Camp is a small and personalized camp that started with Kirsten and Peter who after visiting Southern Africa several times, came to spend time in South Luangwa. Both were immediately taken by the beauty and diversity of the area and decided to leave the Netherlands for their new home in Zambia.
Kirsten moved to Zambia first and started the lodge that opened in 2006, while Peter followed a couple of years later. They both call South Luangwa their home.
Peter & Chichi Geraerdts
Peter is a professional safari guide and keen wildlife photographer and responsible for marketing and photographic safaris/workshops.
Chichi is our Food & Beverage manager and also top hostess at the lodge. She is full of inspiration to bring the best energy and meals to the table.
Kirsten & Marcell
Kirsten did the original design and building of the camp many years ago. She is now overseeing daily operations and a devoted dog mum. Together with Marcell she has raised several orphaned bushbucks which call Track and Trail River Camp their home.
Marcell joined in 2008 and in charge of the workshop, maintenance and building ever since. He loves nature and Land cruisers.
