"At 22, I spent a life changing 6 months in Africa,” recalls Tammy. “I started my journey in Nairobi and made my way independently through East Africa, finishing in Cape Town, with my last night spent on top of beautiful Table Mountain. The music and animals, the endless wild expanses and the amazingly warm and friendly people fascinated me, and I knew I’d be back. I did go back, and can't wait to return again!”
To say that Tammy’s first Africa trip changed her life, is an understatement. After completing university, Tammy set out on a seven-year adventure, exploring Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Canada from her base in the U.K. What these travels did was set Tammy on an even more rewarding path.
One travel adventure after another would follow, and for Tammy, the best way to share her memorable experiences was to become a travel consultant, where she could put her love for the world, and vast travel knowledge to use.
Having gained Certificates 1,2,3 and 4 in Travel and Tourism at the start of her career, Tammy went on to achieve additional training from various cruise line academies, including Viking, Princess and P&O, Seabourn and Silversea. Today, with over 16 years’ experience in the travel industry, Tammy has become one of the most trusted names when it comes to the planning, organising and fashioning of tailor made holidays.
No matter where you’d like to go, or what you want to see or do, Tammy can put together a personalised travel plan that reflects your varied interests. Just recently, Tammy organised a ‘bucket list’ travel plan to Cuba and the Cayman Islands. Avid scuba divers, Tammy’s clients were thrilled with the locations. “We even managed to squeeze in the Chicago Blues Festival as they were massive Blues fans,” says Tammy. “They were able to see one of the great Blues legends of all-time!”
“I really love getting people out of their comfort zones and off the beaten track,” Tammy explains.
“Putting together independent or small group tour itineraries that have more of an adventurous nature to them is what really interests me. South America, the Galapagos, Cuba and Africa are just some of my favourites.” Tammy also enjoys planning European river cruises. With its relaxing pace, delicious onboard food and amazing sightseeing opportunities, a river cruise is one of the best ways to see Europe.
Familiar with every part of the world, Tammy can put her clients on the right track when it comes to advising what to see and do. Whether it’s Christmas in New York City, diving in the Caribbean, or searching for the ‘Big Five’ in Africa, Tammy knows how to make each experience a special one.

Get to know me
What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?
I helped arrange a trip that included a marriage proposal in Koh Samui, Thailand. Weeks of planning in secrecy with the groom and liaising with the hotel to make sure all the details were perfect culminated in a stunning evening and a very happy bride-to-be!
What is your number one travel tip?
Do a foodie walking tour in each city you visit. It's an incredible way to get your bearings, learn about the city's culture and history from a local guide in a small group, and experience local cuisine and authentic restaurants you may never otherwise have known existed.
What are your favourite destinations and why?
My top destination is Africa - I have spent seven months on the continent and it completely captured my heart, from the people to the extraordinary landscapes and wildlife. Cuba is another favourite, because it is like witnessing history frozen in time: the passionate people, music, and incredible architecture.
How do you go above and beyond for your clients?
When planning a bespoke trip, I find out what is truly important to each client and then make sure that all those little details are taken care of.
