About Me

Africa is one of the most extraordinary destinations our planet has to offer. It's not just a travel destination; it's a transformative experience that should be on everyone's bucket list.. Africa's unparalleled blend of wildlife, diverse cultures, and stunning landscapes promises to leave an enduring mark on your soul, especially after a captivating safari adventure.

The African continent is a treasure trove of natural wonders, from the majestic savannahs teeming with iconic animals like lions, elephants, and giraffes to the lush rainforests inhabited by rare and elusive creatures like gorillas. The sheer diversity of species and ecosystems is awe-inspiring and offers an unparalleled opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers to connect with the natural world in its purest form.

But Africa is not just about the animals; it's also about its people. The rich tapestry of cultures and traditions across the continent is a testament to human resilience and creativity. Interacting with local communities, learning about their traditions, and sharing stories around a campfire under the starlit African sky is an experience that fosters a deeper appreciation for the human spirit and our interconnectedness.

The geography of Africa is as diverse as its wildlife and cultures. From the vast deserts of the Sahara to the towering peaks of Kilimanjaro, the continent offers a range of landscapes that will leave you in awe. Witnessing the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River in Tanzania, is a spectacle that defies description. It's a reminder of the incredible forces of nature that shape our world.

For those seeking a more intimate encounter with Africa's wildlife, Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda is a life-changing adventure. Coming face to face with these gentle giants in their natural habitat is an experience that transcends words. It's a moment of profound connection with one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom and a humbling reminder of our responsibility to protect their fragile habitat.

As someone with firsthand experience and local contacts, I am uniquely positioned to help you design the perfect itinerary for your once-in-a-lifetime journey to Africa. Whether you dream of embarking on a classic safari, exploring vibrant African cities, or immersing yourself in the traditions of indigenous communities, I can tailor an experience that suits your interests and ensures an unforgettable adventure for you and your family.

Africa is not just a destination; it's a transformative journey that will leave an enduring mark on your heart and soul. The animals, the people, the varied geography—each element of Africa's tapestry contributes to a life-changing experience. So, if you've ever dreamed of embarking on an adventure like no other, consider Africa, and let me help you turn that dream into a reality. Your journey to Africa will be more than a vacation; it will be a chapter in your life story that you'll cherish forever.

Perfect Wedding Proposal Trip!
Reviewed By Joel - Atlanta | Traveled to St. Thomas ~ Virgin Islands ~ Caribbean
Thanks Patrice and Feltes Travel for booking the perfect wedding proposal trip! St. Thomas and Secret Harbour were awesome! You made the travel process stress free so I could focus on the big item at hand! When to pop the question? After a day at St. John on Trunk Bay and while the sun set in the background from our patio at Secret Harbour, I popped the question. Suffice it to say we now need to plan a honeymoon! Thanks again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Honeymoon Bliss
Reviewed By Katrina - Arlington Heights, IL | Traveled to Hawaii ~ USA
Patrice was a life saver when it came time to planning our honeymoon. After learning what we wanted out of our vacation she got back to me so quickly with an amazing itinerary. She was so responsive and readily available for questions or changes and everything was captured perfectly in our customized app. She took all of the guess work out of the planning and we were able to sit back and relax. I would recommend Feltes Travel in a heart beat!

    Amazing Africa, The Migration in Tanzania

    Africa is one of the most amazing places on the planet. Many people do not realize how vast and diverse.  You don't just go to Africa. You select specific destinations for specific reasons.  The land mass is far larger than China and North America combined!  The Great Migration was my first priority for this trip, more accurately called T...
