Leopard in a Tree Serengeti Tanzania
Tanzania is a destination of unparalleled natural wonders and rich cultural heritage, making it a must-visit for any traveler seeking the essence of Africa. The Serengeti National Park is at the heart of the Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles journey across vast plains in a dramatic struggle for survival, pursued by predators like lions and crocodiles. This spectacle is one of nature’s greatest events and a life-changing experience for those who witness it.Towering over the landscape is Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, offering a challenging but rewarding climb for adventurers. Nearby, Tarangire National Park is known for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees, while the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a breathtaking natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, including the rare black rhino.Tanzania also holds immense archaeological significance with the Olduvai Gorge, often referred to as the "Cradle of Mankind." This site has yielded some of the earliest evidence of human ancestors, offering profound insights into our origins.Combined with the neighboring Masai Mara, these experiences make Tanzania a destination where one can connect with the primal forces of nature and history. Exploring Tanzania is more than a journey; it’s an opportunity to witness the Earth’s most ancient and powerful stories unfold.

Over the Water Paradise in Tahiti
Reviewed By Mel - Del Mar, CA | Traveled to Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Kim planned our honeymoon to Tahiti and it was a dream trip. We island hopped spending a few nights on Moorea, then went to Bora Bora. Our over the water bungalow was stunning...a bucket list experience. Kim set up surprise amenities that made us feel special and really celebrated and congratulated on our honeymoon. The price was very affordable. We actually thought we would have paid more for our dream honeymoon.

Best Italy Travel Planner
Reviewed By Bella - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
I'm so happy I found Kim for my trip to Europe. She really knows Italy well and even found us an immersive experience at an agriturismo wine farm in Tuscany. Lake Como was also magical and we wouldn't have added it to our itinerary if she had not recommended it. She also scheduled our day tours in Rome and Venice that were added value learning the history of what we were experience from knowledgeable walking tour guides.

Mayan Riviera Milestone Celebration
Reviewed By Mike H. - Del Mar, CA | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I'm so grateful I found Kim for planning my family vacation to the Riviera Maya. We had a big group for my grandmother's milestone birthday. There were 19 of us. We went to Tulum and stayed at Dreams, which was superb. We loved that there were activities for all us including the kids. We were treated so well there and the all-inclusive resort meant no money out of pocket except for tips. We loved it! The food was great, the cocktails were even better. There were plenty of activities for the kids and the views were amazing. We did snorkeling, sunset cruise, cenote and Mayan ruins excursions during the day and had amazing dinners at night. We also spent plenty of time relaxing on the beach and by the pool. We didn't want to leave. It would have been hard to coordinate all of this on our own. Thanks to Kim, we even got special welcome amenities in our rooms and a private check-in for our group. I've already booked my anniversary to Secrets Cabo with Kim.

Adventure Zimbabwe
Reviewed By Johnna G. - Eugene, OR | Traveled to Zimbabwe ~ Africa
a. I don't often give 5 stars but I feel I'd be being dishonest if I didn't. I'm a firefighter and my bucket list dream was an adventure trip and safari in Africa. Kim advised me that for all the high adventure I wanted combined with a safari, the best place for me was Zimbabwe and Cape Town. We worked on a 2 week itinerary that included safaris in Kruger National Park, Chobe and the Okavango Delta and I combined it with bungee jumping off of the 311 meter Victoria Falls Bridge in Zimbabwe, white water rafting the Zambezi River and Abseiling down Table Mountain in Cape Town. My trip was epic! I couldn't have done it without Kim. Every activity, transfer and accommodation was exactly as planned. Everything went according to clockwork which I found remarkable for Africa. I only use Kim now when booking travel in Africa, but she's also now helped me book Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean .

AMAZING Self-drive Trip Around Ireland
Reviewed By Layla S. - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Ireland ~ Europe
Kim planned my self drive trip around Ireland. It was amazing! I had done some research but when discussing my trip, Kim suggested places and sights I hadn't considered. We were going to see a live concert and Kim knew the small town and how to book an itinerary around our specific timing to go to the concert. We did everything we wanted to do with a 2 week self-drive itinerary planned to the tee to hit the sights we wanted to see and get to the concert then continue on a loop around the country ending back in Dublin where we returned the rental car and flew home. I love planning travel, but I couldn't have planned such a great trip without Kim's knowledge and insights. I recommend calling Kim for your trip to Ireland or anywhere you'd like to go. I know she loves planning travel and prides herself on providing customer delight.
