About Me

Sundowners with a view!
Sundowners with a view!

As a seasoned luxury travel specialist, I take great pride in crafting immersive journeys that highlight the rich diversity, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cultures of South Africa. Whether you're seeking thrilling wildlife encounters, exploring historic landmarks, indulging in world-class culinary delights, or discovering the country's natural wonders, I have the knowledge, passion, and extensive network to design a remarkable travel experience tailored precisely to your preferences.

Embark on a captivating safari adventure in one of the world's most renowned wildlife reserves - the vast 19,000-square-kilometer expanse of Kruger National Park. Home to an astonishing array of the iconic Big Five (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos), as well as countless other species, this premier safari destination promises unforgettable encounters with Africa's majestic creatures.

Explore the vibrant city of Cape Town, nestled between the magnificent Table Mountain and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean. Ascend to the top of Table Mountain for panoramic views of the city, visit the historic Robben Island, and take a leisurely stroll along the beautiful Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. For a truly unique experience, I can arrange for you to savor a gourmet meal at one of the city's acclaimed restaurants while surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Cape Winelands.

Venture along the captivating Garden Route, where you'll be treated to breathtaking landscapes, charming towns, and pristine beaches. Stop by the enchanting Tsitsikamma National Park, explore the dramatic Cango Caves, and go whale watching in Hermanus (during the whale season). A must-see highlight is the incredible Bloukrans Bridge, the world's highest commercial bungee jump, where you can challenge yourself with an adrenaline-pumping leap into the stunning gorge below.

Delight your senses in the beautiful Stellenbosch Winelands, a region renowned for its world-class vineyards and exquisite wines. Join me on a private wine tour, where you'll have the opportunity to sample award-winning labels, indulge in gourmet cuisine, and explore the historic town of Stellenbosch with its captivating Cape Dutch architecture.

For nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, the majestic Drakensberg Mountains are a true must-visit. Experience awe-inspiring vistas, hike through stunning valleys, and discover ancient rock art sites. I can arrange for you to stay in a cozy lodge nestled in the mountains, providing an ideal base for exploration and relaxation.

Responsible travel practices are important to me, and I can guide you toward eco-friendly accommodations and activities that support sustainable tourism initiatives and cultural exchanges. By making a positive difference, you can leave an indelible mark on the communities you visit while creating lifelong memories of South Africa's unparalleled beauty and hospitality.

Contact me today and get ready to embark on an adventure that will leave you with a profound appreciation for the wonders of this captivating destination.

Tahiti Anniversary
Hi Betty, I hope you are doing well. You probably don't remember me, but a few years ago, my husband and I were planning a trip to Moorea/Bora Bora, but we ended up having to cancel because my mother in law was diagnosed with cancer. You very kindly handled the cancellations, and we really appreciated your help. We are finally ready to reschedule our trip for the end of September 2026 or October 2026. I'm not sure if it is too early to start planning, but I saw this email and thought I would reach out to you. Please let me know if this is something you can help us with, and if so, when we should start planning.

Thanks for getting us home safe!
On October 6, my girlfriend and I flew from Istanbul to Tel Aviv, Israel, after our Long Beach Yacht tour organized by AMT travel. Betty Morgan, the owner of AMT travel, knew about our Israel plans. On Saturday, October 7, during a Jewish Holiday, Israel was attacked by Hamas, and war was declared. With cities filled with travelers trying to get home, Betty, even from Jordan, sent a concerned text. On Sunday, we got an email from Carole, her airline expert, who found us seats on the only airline still flying, El Al, for Monday afternoon. American Express who we did our flights with later confirmed the cancellation of our original flight. Despite spending 14 hours and seeking refuge in an airport bomb shelter, we made it to Athens, allowing us to catch our scheduled Wednesday flight home. Betty and Carole's assistance was invaluable. A personal relationship with trained travel experts is reassuring in times of need. Contact us to experience our dedication.

The Most Amazing Trip to Greece
It was amazing! Runa and I kept saying at every stop, “We love you Betty Morgan!” The accommodations were all in great locations and were all beautiful. We had great tour guides. The transitions from plane to hotel, hotel to ferry and ferry to hotels were well planned. We had one hiccup in Mykonos when we were taken to the wrong hotel from the ferry but it was quickly remedied after contacting Anthia. The order of visits starting in Athens (sightseeing, walking the city, restaurants) then Mykonos (pool relaxation, beach club, sunset cruise, restaurants) and ending in Santorini (wine, sightseeing, food) was perfect for us. Each location had it’s own appeal. I’m truly grateful for all your hard work organizing an amazing trip for us. It was the honeymoon we needed 14 years later. Now my wife has other trips in mind that she wants to organize with you. Like it or not, you have won our trust! I hope we talk soon to start working on the next vacation.

Our African Safari
We want you to know how much we enjoyed everything and appreciative of your guidance. The whole trip was spectacular. A&K was incredible- the Zambia and Botswana accommodations and service were great and the experience with our guides was just phenomenal. We saw everything possible to see and did it with great style. Thank you for suggesting that trip- it couldn’t have been better. We also really enjoyed our time in South Africa at Zulu Nyala. While not as high as A&K, the accommodations were lovely and our guide there was extraordinary. We were happy to have the contrast between the 2 locations as the countries and the game viewing are uniquely different. It was a wonderful time! We are sharing our adventure and I am steering friends your way. Thank you again for your help and we will be in touch about future travel. We were far more prepared because of your suggestions about clothes, travel, etc than our fellow companions!
