Erika is our Admin Manager and the mastermind behind the scenes, leading the team that handles all the essential details, checks, and logistics to ensure every guest’s journey runs seamlessly. Erika takes care of everything from booking airport transfers and marking routes on maps to assembling personalised itineraries and info packs.

She also helps prepare the mobile phones, cool boxes, and First Aid Kits that are provided to our guests on arrival. And yes, Erika is also the one who ensures BBB never runs out of Earl Grey tea by expertly managing the weekly shopping list!

Tourism is in Erika’s blood. She grew up at Ai-Ais Resort, where both her parents worked for the pre-independence Department of Nature Conservation. Naturally, she followed in their footsteps, starting her career with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. From there, she joined Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR), where she stayed for nearly eight years before moving to Windhoek. In Windhoek, Erika gained experience in hotel management before joining Rivendell Guest House, our former sister company, where she welcomed guests from all corners of the globe for almost a decade. When Rivendell closed in 2022, we were thrilled to welcome Erika to ATI. Since then, she’s brought her incredible knowledge, calm leadership, and signature attention to detail to our team and we couldn’t be luckier to have her!
