At Aerotel, we don't have staff — we have crew. Just like on a real aircraft, every member of our team plays a vital role in ensuring your journey is smooth, memorable, and filled with moments of delight.
Your Ground Crew
From the moment you arrive until the moment you reluctantly "disembark," our crew is dedicated to making your stay extraordinary. Here's who you'll meet:
Mike Lawrie
With decades of experience in safari tourism, Mike is the visionary behind Aerotel. His passion for unique experiences and genuine hospitality drives everything we do. You might find him sharing stories about the aircraft's journey or recommending his favourite sundowner spot.
Nesta
Nesta keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. From coordinating housekeeping to ensuring every cabin is perfectly prepared, she's the heartbeat of daily operations. Her attention to detail means nothing is ever overlooked.
Tanja
Tanja is your first point of contact when booking your Aerotel experience. Whether you have questions about our aircraft, need help planning activities, or want to arrange something special, she's here to help make it happen.
Kyra
Kyra captures the magic of Aerotel and shares it with the world. She's also passionate about ensuring every guest has an Instagram-worthy experience — and the local knowledge to discover hidden gems around Hoedspruit.
"We're not just hosting guests — we're creating memories that last a lifetime."— The Aerotel Crew
The Aerotel Difference
What makes our crew special? It's the little things: remembering your coffee preference, having a cold drink waiting after your game drive, or surprising you with a bushveld sundowner setup when you least expect it.
We're a small team, which means you'll never feel like just another booking number. We get to know our passengers — your interests, your celebrations, your reasons for visiting. And we use that knowledge to personalise your experience in ways big hotels simply can't.
Join Our Crew
We're always looking for passionate individuals who share our love for hospitality and unique experiences. If you're interested in joining the Aerotel family, we'd love to hear from you.
