Agent Specializing in all things Africa
Are you are looking to experience the wonders of Africa such as safaris, cruises, rail journeys, cultural experiences, action and adventure, or just relaxing in a luxurious resort at the foot of Victoria Falls? Sit by a lake in the comfort of your lodge where you can watch the animals come to drink? Or how about being feet away from a family of gorillas in Uganda? Do you want to complete the ultimate adventure of watching the sunrise over the Serengeti from the top of Mt Kilimanjaro? I have experienced all these things. It's my passion to help you turn your wildest dreams into memories that will last a lifetime.

Problem Free Traveling!
Reviewed By RITA - Gulf Breeze, Florida | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Maureen booked a trip for my daughter and me to Scotland. We took her advice on travel insurance and a good thing we did. I had emergency surgery near our departure date and the trip had to be postponed. Also - we loved her recommended tour that combined Scotland and Ireland. No problems whatsoever! I've used her company twice now - very reliable!

"Rita, Thank you for your kind review. I hope we can work together, and even travel together in the future.

Amazing African Adventure
Reviewed By Trish - Torrance, CA | Traveled to Africa
Maureen did a fantastic job arranging our dream trip to 5 different countries in Africa -- including peak experiences such as seeing gorillas and golden monkeys up close in the wild, a fabulous photo safari with the best guide ever, and the breath-taking adventure of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. Maureen found comfortable lodges with local flair for us, arranged for knowledgeable, personable guides and drivers, and even organized private flights to get us to where we needed to go. It was such a luxury to leave all these arrangements in Maureen's capable hands; she made this complex adventure trip seem effortless. I'd work with Maureen again in a heartbeat!
Maureen Brescia responded

THE MOST ROMANTIC HONEYMOON!
Reviewed By Kelly & Ryan - Marietta, GA | Traveled to Amalfi ~ Italy ~ Europe
Maureen planned THE MOST AMAZING HONEYMOON for me and my hubby! We spent one week on the Amalfi Coast and one week in Santorini. She listened to our want list and made the romance happen. She's been to these destinations herself, so she was able to tell us exactly where to go for the best food, wine and desserts. I can't wait for her to plan our next vacation!
Maureen Brescia responded
"Thank you Kelly. I can't wait to help with your next adventure. :)"
