I love and have lived in both Africa and South America, the two continents I offer services to. South Africa and Peru are my homes. I’ve also travelled extensively to Botswana, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia and Mozambique, as well as to Chile, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina. I am here to guide you through the process of creating the perfect holiday memory. Just ask me.

German de la Melena
My love for travel has always been part of who I am. A few years ago, I planned a trip to Peru for a large group of friends from all over the world. It was for one of my milestone birthdays (and no, I’m not saying which one!). That journey turned out to be one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life, and based on the feedback, my friends felt the same.
From that moment, something clicked. Friends started asking me to organise their travels—first to South America, and soon, travellers from Peru asked me to create their dream trips to Africa. Word spread, and I found myself designing tailor-made holidays for an ever-growing circle of clients looking for authentic, seamless, and luxurious travel experiences.
Alongside my love for curating unique trips, I have always had a passion for hospitality. I’ve managed my own Airbnbs, where I personally ensured that every guest had a flawless, memorable stay. It was only natural that my next chapter would be creating a one-stop travel service for people travelling to places I know and love. And that is how Nanan Travel was born.
