About Ronit Hershkovitz

Ronit’s connection with Africa began in the early 1990s, when as a promising and well-known businesswoman in the tourism industry she led popular trips to Kenya and to the Seychelles islands. Accepting the invitation of two Tanzanian ministers that she met on one of her trips, Ronit visited the country and immediately fell in love with it.

Soon after, she began organizing trips and charter flights to the island of Zanzibar, playing an important role in the development of the island’s tourism sector. A meeting with the President of Zanzibar paved the way to the renewal of diplomatic relations between the State of Israel and the United Republic of Tanzania. Several years later, Ronit was appointed Honorary Consul of Tanzania to Israel for more than a decade, in recognition of her extensive activities in support of Tanzania and its citizens. She presently serves as the Honorary Consul of Zambia to the State of Israel.

Ronit continues her diplomatic activities and her humanitarian and social efforts alongside her work as CEO of Safari Company and as an expert specializing in customized trips to Africa.
