AFRICA SAFARI SPECIALIST

 “I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up that I was not happy.”   - Ernest Hemingway

Those words ring just as true today as they did when Ernest Hemingway shared his love of Africa! As ex-pats splitting our time between both South Africa and the USA, I can tell you first-hand, never a day goes by that we as a family are not excited to wake up to begin a new day of adventure.

It is hard to have a bad trip to Africa and most travelers return home happy with positive things to share with their friends and family. However, often times, most travelers are not aware of what they missed or how much better their experience could have been! As a dedicated Africa specialist, I travel extensively throughout the continent to ensure I bring my clients firsthand destination knowledge and expertise. I work closely in building strong and personal relationships with our in-destination partners, hoteliers, and safari lodges and camps – so that our clients always experience a personalized and EPIC journey to Africa! Always ensuring unique and authentic experiences that others do not offer. 

Nothing is ever cookie cutter or transactional when working with us - you bring your ideas, thoughts, and dreams, and working together, we will tailor the PERFECT Africa vacation experience! It will be custom-designed, and tailor-made to your lifestyle and wishes! We go out of our way to make the impossible possible and always seek to exceed our client’s expectations! All the while making it a seamless and effortless experience from start to finish!

“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa – for he has so much to look forward to.”  - Richard Mullin.

It is hard to contain the enthusiasm I have for my clients traveling to Africa - whether it is for the first time or many times, no two visits to Africa are ever the same. Until you experience it for yourself, it is simply hard to describe it! I’ve had the privilege of designing bespoke itineraries for honeymooners, families, FIT’s, Wildlife Photographers, CEOs & Executives, VIPs, and groups of various sizes all traveling together – including for corporate meetings and incentives.

From East Africa to Southern Africa, from the Serengeti to Cape Town's Wild Coast, Africa will leave you breathless every step of the way. I look forward to having the honor and privilege to help design your dream trip to Africa - personalized just for you!

    A safari experience to remember
    Reviewed By Vonny - Manchester, UK | Traveled to Kruger National Park ~ South Africa ~ Africa
    An absolute pleasure to work with Jay. Totally professional, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. Our trip was requested at short notice and Jay had everything in place within days. Everything went like clockwork from start to finish - leaving Cape Town airport to our arrival at the safari lodge and return.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Honeymoon
    Reviewed By Matt F. - Denver, CO | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
    Jay is a true professional and makes sure every detail is perfect. After working with Jay, I can’t imagine doing a trip without him. He really took the time to get to know us as a couple to personalize our trip, rather than giving us a cookie cutter itinerary. Jay does a great job communicating before, during, and after the trip so you don’t have to worry about any detail being missed.
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Trip of a lifetime
    Reviewed By Colleen - Detroit, Michigan | Traveled to Africa
    KMX planned our trip to Africa over the winter holidays -- with little notice from us, by the way. Regardless, they made it work flawlessly and were still able to pull off an amazing itinerary for us. The itinerary was jam packed with wonderful things to do. Since this trip, everyone has been asking me what my favorite part was and I really can't decide! Cape Town, the winelands, Victoria Falls and of course our safari....each location was so enjoyable in their own way. We absolutely loved our Cape Town tour guide, and we also met forever friends on our safari. Jay was very accessible the whole time -- communicative by phone or text during our trip to ensure we were able to do all the things we wanted, from dinner reservations to buying some last minute tickets for us for a night out in Cape Town. I highly recommend their services!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    A bucket list trip, and Best trip of our life!
    Reviewed By Emily W - Boston, Ma | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
    My husband and I worked with Jay and Jess when planning our honeymoon in South Africa and Botswana. They were absolutely amazing - I cannot say enough about the attention to detail they put into the trip. They had everything planned out perfectly - travel transfers, drivers, meals, etc. our trip went from exploring the city to the Cape Winelands then off to Botswana for a safari. Each step of the way was better than the last. This was all due to Jay and Jess really taking the time to get to know us before and cater the trip specifically to our needs and interests. I’m a Type A person, but I felt confident leaving the planning to them which made the trip that much more enjoyable and relaxing when we got there. I would recommend their service to anyone looking for the trip of a lifetime!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
