Cross Country Air Safaris is a recreation business that provides tourism services.

She worked in the fields of marketing research and consumer behavior in Germany before making the decision to move to South Africa in 1999, to follow her life's dream of living in the African Bush.

She has also worked as a temporary insurance assistant for GCM Gielisch Claims Management, a manager at The Garden Lodge, and an office manager of Bassair Aviation.

She attributes her success to following her passion, and chose this profession after completing her studies in psychology. Upon graduation, she desired to work with wildlife and continued her studies in wildlife management in South Africa. She began to work as an office manager with Brigitte Cross, the former owner of the Cross Country Air Safaris. When Brigitte could no longer maintain the responsibilities of ownership due to illness, she passed the business to Ms. Beckmann, who now has complete ownership. Ms. Beckmann has also completed a comprehensive study of white rhinoceri.
