Meet Natasha

Natasha ImagesHello! I’m Natasha Sinclair, a travel specialist and businesswoman who is quite simply a bit batty about Africa and India.

I said goodbye to my corporate marketing career over 13 years ago and through some unexpected twists and turns in life started working in travel and tourism – and loved it!

I spent 8 years working for other companies specialising in travel to destinations throughout South-East Asia, China and of course the Indian Subcontinent and safaris in Southern and East Africa.  I also have helped 1000’s of people cycle the Otago Central Rail Trail plus more exotic overseas destinations.

In 2013 the opportunity came up to start Indafrica Travel Marketing.  The timing was not ideal as I was literally about to pop out a wee surprise bundle (I have a 7 1/2 year gap between number 1 and number 2).  But after talking it over with my husband, I said ‘what the heck’ and the rest, as they say, is history!

Why just India and Africa?

This is where my heart lies and the passion extends right back to my childhood.  I grew up watching Sir David Attenborough and other documentary makers bring in particular Africa to life on the small screen and always vowed that one day I would experience the sights and smells of a safari.  To date, some of my most memorable experiences have included wild camping Botswana and tracking White Rhino on foot in Matobo National Park in Zimbabwe.

My connection to India is much more tactile and slightly romantic.  On my bookshelf in my childhood bedroom was a beautiful copy of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book, bound in royal blue leather, with the cover and spine embossed in gold.  The stories captivated me and I am still enchanted with stories of India.  However these days you’ll find me devouring books like ‘The God of Small Things’ by Arundhati Roy, Vikram Seth’s ‘A Suitable Boy’ and anything written by William Dalrymple.  I have journeyed across most of Northern India, been into the foothills of the Himalayas, been blessed in Varanasi and joined the pilgrims in the waters of the Ganges at Haridwar.  I still think that there is nothing quite like enjoying freshly squeezed pineapple juice while relaxing on the backwaters of Kerala.  Mumbai and Delhi are currently battling it out mind for the title of my favourite Indian City – I might just have to declare it a tie!

I don’t feel that my travels in Africa and India will ever be finished.  There is always somewhere new to go, places to revisit and old and new friends to meet.

My Other Passions

My family is Number 1! I enjoy art and in particular, have been developing an interest in Indian Street Art. With two children at home, I travel to Africa and/or India, once or twice a year but I need no excuse to conjure up lots of tasty (in particular Indian food) in the kitchen.

When I am not helping people make their travel dreams in Africa and India come true, cooking up a storm or running around after two children – you’ll find me enjoying all that home in Central Otago has to offer on my bike, on foot or on the water.

I also love my garden and living in Central Otago with its defined seasons I am lucky to be able to grow many of favourite plants – however, I do wish that the lemon tree didn’t have to be shifted into the house each winter to keep it alive.

Get in Contact…

I love chatting to people about Africa and India – even if it is just to point them in the right direction.  So drop me a line on the form below or call me on +64 (0)3 442 4067.
