About Me

On Safari
On Safari

South Africa, a jewel at the tip of the African continent, offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, adventure, and natural splendor – perfect for unforgettable honeymoons and extraordinary family getaways. 

Imagine waking up to the roar of lions in the iconic Kruger National Park, where the Big Five roam freely. Picture yourselves traversing the breathtaking Garden Route, where pristine beaches meet lush forests and serene lagoons. Envision toasting to your love amid the rolling vineyards of the Cape Winelands, or watching the sunset paint the sky from atop Table Mountain in vibrant Cape Town. 

As your dedicated South Africa specialist, I craft bespoke journeys that seamlessly blend urban sophistication, thrilling safaris, and coastal tranquility. My personal three-week expedition across this diverse nation – from the bustling streets of Johannesburg to the wild expanses of Kruger, culminating in the cultural melting pot of Cape Town – has equipped me with insider knowledge and cherished connections. 

These carefully cultivated relationships with local partners ensure your South African sojourn transcends the ordinary. Whether you're seeking a romantic hideaway for two or an opulent family adventure, I'll tailor every detail to exceed your expectations. 

Let's transform your South African dreams into reality. From private game drives and exclusive wine tastings to luxurious coastal retreats, I'll curate a journey that not only ticks off your bucket list but creates memories to treasure for a lifetime. Shall we embark on planning your ultimate South African experience?

Great adults get away!
Reviewed By Kim - Cottage Grove, MN | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Kristi was wonderful to work with! In the beginning stages of our trip planning, she spent a lot of time gathering information for us. When I would switch my thinking of destinations Kristi always reassured me and would share information with me. She was dedicated, hard working and always willing to go the extra mile. I thought it was great when I received an email from her during our vacation-she was just checking in to make sure all was going well.
I highly recommend Kristi for your travel needs. She is excellent at what she does!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
