For me, sustainable travel isn’t about travelling less, it’s about travelling better.
It’s about choosing experiences that feel authentic and uplifting, while also supporting the people, wildlife and environments that make a destination so special.
After living in South Africa for more than 30 years, I’ve seen first-hand how tourism can transform communities when it’s done thoughtfully. That belief now runs through everything I plan for my clients.
Where possible, I work with locally owned hotels, lodges, restaurants and guides.This means more of your money stays in the community and contributes directly to livelihoods
I only recommend wildlife encounters that genuinely protect and respect animals.
This includes:
If there’s ever a grey area, I’ll explain the options clearly, so you can choose with confidence
Sustainability doesn’t mean giving anything up.
Often, it simply means choosing:
Tiny choices can make a big difference without affecting the joy of your holiday
I want every trip to feel uplifting — for you and for the destination.
That’s why I take the time to understand your interests, your travel style and what matters most to you. Together we’ll build an itinerary that is memorable, meaningful and mindful
