Kay
Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Cape Town, Kay lives and works within sight of the iconic Table Mountain. She is a fun-loving people’s person with kids and dogs who all share in her love of adventure. Travel is in her DNA and her upbringing instilled a love of exploring in her, with a host of road trips and camping holidays. She is always open to new experiences and has traveled all over the world from Brazil to Russia, as well as all over Southern and East Africa. She believes tourism brings people together, whether eight hours behind or one hour ahead. She sees trip planning as an opportunity to learn from each other and create memorable life-changing experiences. Her industry passion is as an African luxury travel specialist because in her words: “there’s always a reason to come back for more.” She excels at interest-based and individualised itineraries.
Kay's top trips include:
- A safari experience for a small incentive group, whereby some guests were seasonal travellers and other, it was their first time. One guest advised that it was their best incentive trip in 30 years and others are wanting to return to discover more of Africa.
- A luxury 16 night trip for a family starting in Cape Town and ending in Rwanda, including Victoria Falls in Zambia , the well know Maasai Mara and 2 x Gorillas treks in Rwanda. These guests loved their trip so much that they returned 2 years later with friends and did a similar itinerary again and add in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
- A top luxury bucket list holiday for a couple wanting to see the Great Migration, Hot Air Balloon safari over the Maasai Mara and Gorilla trekking in Rwanda.
Q &A to Get to know Kay
I enjoy putting the components together to create an experience for guests to enjoy and I love receiving their positive feedback.
South Africa as it is such a diverse country with so much to offer that, even with all my trips, I feel I have only discovered a small portion.
Seeing a baby antelope being born. The calf would get up and fall down and continue like this for a few minutes before it managed to stand up and walk. It reminded me of the song “I get knocked down but I get up again.” I can’t think of it without smiling.
My first overseas trip was to Israel. I loved exploring the different cities, experiencing the culture, tasting the local cuisine and meeting the locals. After this trip, I could not wait for my next trip to learn and discover another country.
Cape Town – I just love Table Mountain. It provides some calmness especially when I drive to work in the mornings and it is my symbol of home.
My pillow – I take it with me wherever I can.
