    With an impressive 25 years in the industry, Amanda O'Connor’s passion for travel is fuelled by both her personal memories and the exceptional holidays she crafts for her clients.

    One of Amanda’s fondest travel moments was traveling in Africa and visiting the Cape of Good Hope, who remembers a surprise meeting with a baboon during a safari adventure while her group awaited their driver.  “I was looking out my window and a Baboon was walking on its hind legs over to our van, and in the blink of an eye the door was open, and the Baboon was sitting in the driver’s seat directly in front of me.”  As her group quickly exited the vehicle, the mischievous baboon was left to explore their belongings in search of food. Talk about up close and personal with nature.

    Another memorable encounter was in Trieste, where a local chef's recommendation led to the delightful discovery of Limoncello Gelato. Cruising along the Turkish coast provided another highlight, with each morning bringing a new port to explore ancient ruins. In Istanbul, Amanda enjoyed cat spotting. “Turkish people believe cats are descendants of gods. I saw cats in shops, churches, the Grand Bazaar, but my favourite was spotting a cat lounging on a bed in a homewares shop,” she recalls.

    With extensive cruise knowledge, a knack for curating family holidays, and a profound love for Africa, Amanda's travel prowess extends across diverse destinations and travel styles. Her clients cherish her for the passion she exudes, her efficient communication, and an uncanny ability to uncover unique experiences. 

    "I love helping clients arrange the best holidays, it doesn't matter where to, so long as my clients have maximum enjoyment and its stress free,” she says.

    A testament to Amanda's expertise is a meticulously crafted one-of-a-Kind private tour she organised for clients to explore Morocco with Abercrombie & Kent. From exploring the vibrant streets of Marrakesh to the majestic Atlas Mountains and even experiencing the magic of Sir Richard Branson's Kasbah Tamadot retreat, she ensured her clients experienced complete cultural immersion in luxurious style.
