My Story
I am a hospitality professional from South Africa now based in NYC with over 25 years of experience spanning luxury travel, five-star hotels, premium safari lodges, and exclusive country clubs. I graduated from the prestigious International Hotel School, and my career has taken me across the globe, honing my expertise in luxury hospitality management, bespoke safari travel, and elevated guest service. With deep roots in Africa and a passion for creating meaningful, high-touch experiences, I bring together international experience with an authentic understanding of what makes travel truly unforgettable.
Through Tusk & Tailor Travel, I craft bespoke journeys that reflect world-class standards while capturing the soul, beauty, and adventure of Africa.
Travel Style
My travel style combines five-star comfort with the soul of exploration. I value beautifully designed spaces, exceptional service, and curated details, but equally important are the stories, landscapes, and people behind each destination. I travel to truly feel a place—its food, wildlife, culture, and rhythm—all while enjoying the finest standards of hospitality.

South Africa Is More Than Wildlife
South Africa is so much more than wildlife. Having lived in South Africa my whole life, I’ve had the privilege of discovering hidden gems. South Africa is a destination of feelings, with its warmth, its cultural depth, its rich history, and vibrant personality. The wine and cuisine alone are on a different level, with organic products and old-school wine cultivation, and not to mention the diversity of taste, flavors, and smells that are second to none. I worked on and managed different properties in South Africa, from high-end hotels to ultra-luxury safari lodges, giving me a lot of insight on wildlife, luxury, exclusivity, and value—all that my home, South Africa, has to offer. I am delighted to share all of this with you.
