Overview

We are a husband-and-wife travel consulting team turning our deep passion for East Africa into travel inspiration for discerning travelers. What began with what we thought was a once-in-a-lifetime journey to check off a bucket-list destination became our second act. After retiring from corporate careers, we have made countless returns – the genuine warmth and hospitality of its people and communities drawing us back repeatedly – while the magic and wonder of the surrounding ecosystems and landscapes continue to reshape our perspectives. We have chosen to partner with award-winning local teams who work directly with communities and experts in Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda to support communities and culture. We will soon begin expanding our offerings to South Africa and Zambia, further exploring the continent, and deepening our understanding of these regions and their communities.  We strive to create authentic, traveler-focused East African experiences, highlighting responsibly managed wildlife conservation efforts, supporting and celebrating local communities, and pursuing sustainable tourism.
