Our Founder
Our Founder, Maggi, is passionate about the world, nature, exploring and adventure. She has travelled to all four corners of the globe to seek out the best and most authentic travel experiences. You could argue that it’s a role she was born for as she was even born moving – on a train in India!
Although born in India, she was raised in Zimbabwe in the heart of the African bush, before moving to London where her career in travel began with a role at the Savoy Hotel. She also worked for British Airways and BA Holidays before founding her own company in 1989, initially offering fishing holidays. Her wanderlust is so strong and her thirst to keep moving and learning doesn’t diminish.
The Team
All of our staff has travelled extensively throughout their lives and careers and the one thing that we all have in common is a passion for sending clients to places that we love. Between us we have lived and worked in America, Canada, India, Africa and Thailand. We travel to the places that we sell on a regular basis in order to offer first hand knowledge and insider tips. We have amazing destination knowledge and a highly skilled team that takes the utmost pride in providing exceptional service, all with the aim of ensuring that our customers make long-lasting memories from their travels.
