MEET YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL DESIGNERS FOR SOUTH AFRICA:
CHARLOTTE & CALVIN
At Into The Sunshine, we believe travel to South Africa is more than just a journey—it’s a deep, soul-stirring experience. Co-founded by Charlotte and Calvin, our boutique agency specializes in crafting luxurious, meaningful adventures tailored to discerning travelers seeking authentic South African experiences.
Charlotte’s passion for travel began early. With a degree in Tourism and Leisure Management and years of experience in the Hospitality & Tourism Industry, she has explored the world, from Europe to Cambodia, Berlin, and now the diverse landscapes of South Africa. Originally from Belgium, Charlotte now calls South Africa home, where she lives with her South African husband and their son, Otis Lou. Her love for South African culture and her expertise in luxury travel design are the cornerstones of our agency.
Calvin, a proud South African with a deep connection to the land, brings invaluable local knowledge to every journey we create. Having lived across South Africa, he now resides in the beautiful beach town of Wilderness. His passion for surfing, music, art, and nature is infused into every bespoke itinerary. Calvin’s intimate understanding of South Africa’s hidden gems ensures that your luxury experience is authentic, enriching, and unforgettable.
