Since 2016, African Expert has proudly supported The Otis Foundation, an Australian charity that provides free retreat accommodation for individuals and families navigating the challenges of breast cancer.
What began as a simple wish to give back through travel has grown into something truly meaningful. Each year, Katrina donates luxury African safaris and holidays to be auctioned at the annual Otis Ball, raising vital funds to support the Foundation’s mission of offering time, space, and healing to those who need it most.
