Here you will experience game drive in Serengeti National Park. You can expect to see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebra and giraffes. If your really lucky you might see leopards and cheetahs. If you travel in June, September or October you will experience the migration of thousands of wildebeest. There is also an opportunity to canoe on the Little Okavango Channels

Everyone loves a dupe right?

Ready to try something new this year? 🌍✨

Here are some destination dupes that offer all the charm without the crowds. Whether you’re dreaming of tranquil beaches or vibrant cityscapes, with my destination knowledge and expertise I will curate the perfect trip for you. Let me handle all the details so you can explore the world with confidence.

*Montenegro instead of Croatia*☀️
Montenegro is an often-overlooked gem that offers the same stunning Adriatic coastline as Croatia but with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

*Slovenia instead of Switzerland*⛰️
If you dream of alpine landscapes and pristine lakes, Slovenia is the perfect alternative to Switzerland. Slovenia’s natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring.

*Chicago instead of New York City*🏙️
While New York City is often seen as the ultimate urban destination, Chicago offers a similar big-city experience with its own unique charm.

*Seville instead of Madrid* 🍋
For those craving the famed culture and warmth of Spain, Seville is a captivating alternative to Madrid.

Let’s plan your next adventure together! Reach out today to uncover new destinations and tailored travel experiences. ✈️

So excited to check in my honeymoon couple for their flight on Friday. What a trip - tour of Japan for 7 nights, 3 nights in Singapore and onto Bali for a weeks R&R and a nights stopover in Dubai to break up the journey. The brief was “as many places as possible” The budget whilst relatively healthy, was tight for what they wanted to achieve. I really enjoy complicated itineraries and had a great time making this work. They are going to make memories to last a lifetime ❤️

I specialise in bespoke honeymoons and can tailor make anything to suit most budgets. Please get in touch if you are ready to plan your next adventure.
