About
I'm a South African mama, living in Australia with my three guys and fur baby Scotty, Angus.
Travel style
I'm always plotting a way back into to the African bush. Luxurious safaris and secluded beaches are my ULTIMATE. Properties that have me daydreaming are not just about a pinnacle experience for guests, but also about sustainability, epic conservation initiatives (saving rhinoceros', leopards, wild dog populations and ocean biomes) and local community development.
I create the 'best of both worlds' itineraries.

Sharon's reviews
My feet have touched the ground and I’ve arrived back in Capetown. Thank you so much for curating such a fabulous trip. Everything worked, the timing the connections all fine. I know that you must have worked remotely and in the background to do this as you often knew before I did if things changed. Did you arrange the Stoli-Bolli which kicked the whole train journey off ( Absolutely Fabulous, ( sic)? ) Maybe our friend Ashleigh was involved in that! I’m wondering if anyone apart from you could have arranged that hopefully once in a lifetime experience of the train crash! Seriously there was, on the Ghan train, (please see the link below). That was above and beyond! So many experiences in such a short time I’m still digesting the it all, especially the food. Bammaru,-Masterchef Australia’s John Creece creative, outstanding use of local flora and fauna ( green ants come to mind!) Stefanie’s “brunch” also exceptional there! The team at Longitude 131 also knew how to make a great “Perfect Manhattan”,- my test of a celebrated bar/restaurant. ( they even had my favorite bourbon Woodford in the recipe). I was impressed that Lou ( GM) herself drive me to the airport. They ( or probably you ) also arranged for me to have the “Swag” experience under the stars and around an open fire! Much more to say I’ll save it for another time and I hope that you’ll curate many more trips for me. Best Bernard PS Bruce Monroe’s Field of light attached PPS I would have spent a week at Sequoia lodge the ambience, the rooms, ( some of the best in the world )…..
