It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I am Alicia – a safari specialist, memory maker, and your go‑to for both leisure and corporate travel that feels effortless from start to finish.
With over 23 years in the industry, I have helped clients turn ideas into well planned, beautifully organised trips. Based in Pretoria but working with clients across South Africa and abroad, I bring together solid experience, calm logistics and genuine care to create journeys that feel just right for you.
I have worked across many sides of travel over the years: from leisure holidays and corporate trips to heading up the reservations department in South Africa for a beach lodge in Kenya. I also spent years with a tour operator that focused on private and group tours to the Great Migration, tours into Africa and even climbing Kilimanjaro. All of this has taught me how important the details are: the right room or seat, the smooth connections, and those small touches that make a trip truly memorable.
I can plan travel to any destination in the world, from quick city breaks and business travel to long haul escapes. But Africa is where my heart really lies. I love crafting journeys to Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania and the Great Migration, as well as island escapes to Zanzibar and Mauritius for sunshine, beaches and those “I never want to leave” moments.
I specialise in tailor made safaris, romantic honeymoons, and trips that bring people together: small and large groups, events and functions, incentive and corporate groups, special celebrations and multigenerational family holidays. My style is hands on and personal, and I am there for you before, during and after your trip.
What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is the freedom to truly look after my clients. You work directly with me from our first chat to your return home, I am available after hours when needed, and you always have someone you know and trust to turn to if anything unexpected comes up while you are away.
Whether you are dreaming of a once in a lifetime safari, a barefoot on the beach honeymoon, a big celebration, a corporate incentive or simply a well deserved break, I would love to help you bring it to life.
Let us create your next trip together – one that feels like it was made just for you, because it is.

The Great Wildebeest Migration: Why You Can Experience It All Year Round
The Great Wildebeest Migration: Why You Can Experience It All Year Round When people think of the Great Wildebeest Migration, they often picture thousands of wildebeest plunging into the crocodile-filled Mara River in one dramatic crossing. While these iconic scenes are certainly spectacular, many travellers don't realise that the Great Migration isn't a single event—it's a continuous, year-round

Why Booking Online Is Not Enough: The Real Value of a Personal Travel Counsellor
In a world of instant confirmations, “best price” banners and endless online reviews, it is easy to believe that booking travel yourself is always the smartest option. With a few clicks, you can secure flights, hotels and car hire at any hour of the day. For time‑poor executives and busy families, that convenience feels hard to beat.
