Witness the wildebeest migration in Tanzania

Tanzania

An annual migration of epic proportions. And memories just as immense.

Considered one of the world’s most profound events, witnessing the annual wildebeest migration from the Serengeti Park in Tanzania to Kenya’s Maasai Mara reserve is undisputedly, an experience of a lifetime. These are sights you may never observe again.

A 1200-mile odyssey made by wildebeest, zebra and smaller (yet equally ambitious) creatures, you expect to be bowled over by their quest, but you’ll be equally astonished by the terrain. Vast swathes of rain fall over a never-ending horizon and the savanna, barren yet beautiful, is a kingdom ruled solely by animals.

By daybreak you’ll be tracking the Big Five, by lunchtime you’re dining with a local family. And by the ninth day you’ll have participated in one of nature’s greatest journeys. This one trumps everything.

“After a safari in the wilderness, you’ll welcome a decadent high tea served in The “T” Lounge at Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel in Nairobi. It’s very refined. Just make sure you remove your khaki stubbies — no shorts here! ”

Travel is a passion for me, I have been in travel for quite some time (too long to remember) from Corporate to Leisure.

I aim to help people no matter what their plans are to create the best holiday experience possible. I enjoy being part of our travellers experience and making the whole process as easy as possible & to create fantastic memories that are special and will last a lifetime for themselves and their families.

I have travelled to some amazing places, but one stands out, the 6 months I spent working on Antarctica at McMurdo Station is a highlight & backpacking through India was a challenge.

From visiting the many aspects of Australia, Asia, South Africa & South America to basking in the sun on the Maldives or hitting the beaches and shopping in Thailand I would love to help you create some new stories & memories. I love active holidays and have followed the Moto GP / Formula 1 and the Isle of Man TT was particularly exciting. Followed by walking up on Mt Kinabalu was another eventful trip.

However, every great adventure starts with a plan, and I would be honoured to help you with that plan, whether you take the road less travelled or one of the many roads that lead to Rome.

I look forward to helping you to create more wonderful stories and memories in the coming years.

I liken planning a holiday to baking a cake. It takes several well measured and thought out ingredients for a great result.

I have been lucky to have travelled extensively myself and being a travel consultant for more than 20 years, I use these 'ingredients' - experience and expertise - to draw on to help create amazing holidays and lifelong memories.

It is such a pleasure to help my clients get the best out of their holidays and manage an incredible team of travel professionals.
