About the owner
Born in Ireland, my love for travel and adventure took me to South Africa, I immediately fell in love with the people and the beauty of the country, it is where I presently reside.
After pursuing a successful teaching career in Ireland, UK and South Africa, I changed profession to explore my other great passion…..TRAVEL!
Starting at the bottom, I learned the travel trade with the guidance of professional mentors, eventually co-founding and co-managing a highly successful Reservations Company, representing over 300 Luxury Game Lodges & Exclusive Retreats throughout Southern Africa. We sold the business to a Public Listed Company.
Post selling the business, it was “time to give back”, I spent some rewarding years mentoring and guiding enthusiastic ladies to become Travel Entrepreneurs and Masters of their own destinies.
Having toured extensively throughout Southern Africa and the rest of the world, my love of Africa and passion for the travel industry has not waned, prompting me to set up “Africa Exclusively” to share my 30 years experience and knowledge, designing luxury Southern African itineraries exclusively for you….
Africa gets into one’s soul, leaving one energised and wanting more. I invite you to travel with “Africa Exclusively” to see and experience the magic for yourself.
Yours Exclusively
