Freelance Travel Consultant specializing in Africa, Asia, Europe &South America

For nearly 20 years, EXPLORE Inc. has been the leader in private, custom-designed travel throughout Africa. We handcraft once-in-a-lifetime experiences, from family vacations in luxury villas to low-to-the-ground mobile safaris and traditional-style adventures at little-known camps that capture the heart of Africa. EXPLORE has appeared on Conde Nast Traveler’s Top 100 Agents list for the past twelve years. While other operators offer off-the-shelf itineraries, EXPLORE only custom-crafts one-of-a-kind safaris for clients looking for the “real Africa.” We work in 20 countries throughout the continent and design trips that incorporate the most authentic, exclusive privately owned camps and lodges in pristine wilderness areas, ranging from icons like Singita, Grumeti and Mombo Camp to brand-new camps that we were among the first to discover. Whether you want the ultimate luxury fly-in safari with a private guide to find the Big Five, or an off-the-beaten-path African adventure with unique cultural experiences, we can design it.
