African Ambience Guest House in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park is owned by John Engelbrecht who is also a seasoned deep-sea skipper having operated his boat charter services for almost 2 decades in St. Lucia. He is acknowledged locally as the expert on deep-sea fishing and his services are in such demand that bookings are normally paid and confirmed weeks ahead by guests planning to holiday in St. Lucia. John has been a local resident for decades operating exclusively deep-sea charters and has added African Ambience Guest House to his portfolio of services in the area.

Laura has since joined John with a specific view to managing African Ambience Guest House, adding that special "woman's touch". Many previous guests are evidence of the magic "African Ambience" experience in that they return time and again.
