About Me

A visit to the Elelphant Orphanage Nairobi Kenya
A visit to the Elelphant Orphanage Nairobi Kenya

 Planning an African Safari can be both daunting and exciting! With so many amazing experiences and vivid landscapes to visit, it can be overwhelming for travellers to even know where to begin.

 This is where I come in. My special understanding of nature and wildlife, help me focus in on the fine details of your Safari Journey. There are some key factors that influence where to go and what season to visit. For example, if you would like to see the Great Migration in East Africa, it is important to send you to the correct region during proper month. The Migration travels through Kenya and Tanzania in a continuous cycle so it is imperative to know it's location during your chosen travel dates.

 Maybe you are looking for a specific experience such as a Gorilla trek or a a balloon ride. These choices will influence where to go and possibly what season you travel in.  Are you looking for a Safari and Beach getaway or a trip to Table Mountain and the Wine lands? I  will work closely with you to ensure we find the best possible itinerary for your dream safari.

 I will guide you through the requirements to enter the countries you plan to visit and work with you to obtain your travel visas and necessary vaccinations.  I can provide travel insurance and also suggest different activities that will enhance your overall experience. I have  Ballooned in South Africa and Kenya and I have travelled in both open jeep and Land rover  while on Safari so I can help you decide which style suits your adventure needs. I have stayed in lodges and tented camps. Both styles can accommodate your level of comfort from modest 3 star to full 5 star luxury, your dream safari awaits! 

 I am a certified specialist to Kenya and South Africa and I have travelled to both regions, which gives me  experience and personal understanding of the area. I continue to meet with the tourist boards and build relationships with suppliers to understand each product they offer and properly match the right tour experience to your unique safari needs.

 I have planned luxury honeymoon safaris in Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania  and   camping safaris that cover a number of countries  in one grand adventure.

  You can swim with sharks, kiss a giraffe or adopt an elephant, the possibilities are endless!   I invite you to view the photos of Kiasa, my adopted ellie (elephant) in my photo book. Some of my clients have also adopted and visited their elephant while in Nairobi, it is an experience not ot be missed!

I invite you to visit the wonders of Africa!  It is truly and unforgettable experience, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect Honeymoon!

Angie was very helpful in finding us the perfect honeymoon trip. She sent us several options and narrowed it down based on what we liked/didn't like. The trip we went on was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation - just what we wanted. It was a great experience working with Angie.

Angie was always there for me
Reviewed By Davina - Orangeville, Ontario | Traveled to
I asked Angie to help me with my flights to Istanbul and Greece. She was very helpful and knowledgeable on the flights and destinations. She even told me that I needed a travel visa to enter Turkey and gave me the webite in which to apply for it. I also purchased my travel insurance insurance through her. I didn't end up booking my flights with Angie because my daughter was already in Turkey and I was meeting her there and it just became too complicated with my daughters schedule so she booked for me instead. Angie was very respectful of my needs and never became that " pushy sales person" I will definitely use Angie for my future bookings.
Angie Matthews responded
"Entry and exit requirements along with travel insurance are very important necessities while traveling. I am happy to assist with all aspects of travel and I appreciate your trust in my services. I look forward to working with you again soon! Cheers! Angie"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Magical Kenya

      In April 2018, I traveled to Kenya to explore its stunning landscapes and rich culture across three regions: Nairobi, Amboseli, and the Great Rift Valley, concluding in the Masai Mara.   Upon arrival in Nairobi, our safari guides welcomed us and shared interesting facts about the city as we made our way to the Savoy Stanley Hotel...
