My passion for travel began in my early teens and has only grown stronger over time. At 15, I became the first person in my family to travel abroad, completing an ambassadorship in Europe. It was a transformative experience that sparked a lifelong curiosity about the world.
I’ve since found that travel has a unique power to inspire and connect us, and I’ve embraced every chance to explore new destinations. My career eventually led me to the Middle East, where I lived and worked in the UAE and Oman and had the rare opportunity to be truly immersed in local culture, traditions, and daily life.
From there, my journey continued to South Africa, where I curated personalized safari experiences, introducing travelers to the breathtaking wildlife and landscapes that make the region so special. I’ve also explored South Africa and Zambia extensively, immersing myself in their rich cultures, vibrant cities, and awe-inspiring nature.
Today, I’m excited to share my knowledge and passion by crafting unforgettable journeys that reflect each traveler’s dreams and leave them with lasting memories.
Q&A with Emily
Your best piece of travel advice?
Stay curious and open to the unexpected. Some of the most memorable travel moments come from saying yes to something unfamiliar — whether it’s tasting a dish you’ve never heard of or joining an activity that pushes you just a little outside your comfort zone. Those are often the experiences you’ll remember most.
What's the best local dish you’ve tasted?
One of my favorite local treats in South Africa is melktert or milk tart, as it’s more commonly known. This creamy pastry, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon, strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and crunch. I recommend enjoying it with a warm cup of rooibos tea, especially before heading out on an evening safari.
What’s your most vivid travel moment?
Flying over Victoria Falls on the 'Flight of Angels' was unforgettable. It was my first time in a helicopter, but I felt surprisingly calm as we soared above the misty gorge. Seeing rainbows shimmering below, and spotting wildlife from the air added to the magic. It was one of my most adventurous and awe-inspiring travel moments.
