Sleep suspended above Kruger’s wild heart

At Kruger Shalati – The Train on the Bridge, luxury and wilderness meet in spectacular style.
This reimagined vintage train is permanently stationed high above the Sabie River in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, offering rooms with glass walls that overlook one of the continent’s most wildlife-rich landscapes.
From the comfort of your bed, watch elephants and hippos wander below, or sip sundowners on the open-air deck as the sky blushes pink.

Travel fuels my soul, the experiences, the opportunities, the culture, the adventures, I have been lucky enough to have a career that is a labour of love. Planning holidays with a high degree of skill, attention and knowledge has become my trade mark.
I absolutely adore planning epic family trips, luxurious holidays alongside organizing a lot of corporate travel business as well. I also travel a lot, as often as I can so I have up to date first hand experience in so many areas. This has given me the skill and experience to share with my clients and ensure they also come away with travel experiences second to none. I work with a large referral business and I do require appointments to fully assess what is going to be right for you and start planning your holiday.

Travel -it broadens our
views, creates lasting memories and allows you to take a break from the
ordinary.
In recent years, I have taken to much more adventurous travel, heading to
Central Asia and exploring Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, exploring much of
Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Shanghai and looking forward to our next adventures in
Africa.
I love travelling with my family and seeing my teenage girls minds blown by the
experiences they have in different countries - different ways of living,
different foods, different cultures, amazing sites (and sights!) and really
seeing what is important to other people outside of NZ.
I love hearing about the epic adventures people have planned and love helping
pull things together to give you your Best Holiday Ever. Give me a call or send
me an email to get started on your next journey.

Bula, Bonjour, Talofa, Konnichiwa – and welcome!
From the moment I could dream, I dreamed of travel. At just 17, I set out on
that path by diving into my first travel course, and I’ve never looked back.
For the first decade, I poured my heart into everything South Pacific – those
sparkling waters, warm smiles, and sun-soaked cultures became my world.
Now, my map has expanded far beyond the Pacific, and I’m proud to say I sell
the entire world. And what a breathtakingly vast world it is! Over the past 30
years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to explore some of its most magical
corners – Samoa, Bali, Vietnam, Hawaii, Italy, and Switzerland are just a few
of the places that have left footprints on my soul.
But this journey isn't just about me. It’s about you – your dreams, your adventures, your once-in-a-lifetime moments. I’m here to ignite your excitement, guide your decisions, and help piece together your perfect travel jigsaw. Whether you’re hopping over to Australia, meandering through the Scottish Highlands in a small group, or gliding past alpine peaks on a Swiss rail tour – I’ll be right beside you, making it all seamless.
There’s nothing quite like nabbing that dream tour, then weaving in the best
flights, stopovers, and secret gems to create an itinerary that’s more than a
trip – it’s an experience. Over the years, I’ve learned something simple but
powerful: every place is unique, kindness connects us all, and life’s most
precious souvenirs are the memories we make.
So let’s start building yours.
