About Me

Drawing from personal experiences, prestigious recognitions, and a profound passion for Africa, I craft a narrative that encapsulates the essence of luxury safari travel through the eyes of an expert. As an American Express Platinum Specialist for Africa and a seasoned traveler with over 18 years of expertise, I am excited to share my intimate knowledge of the continent and help you plan the ultimate luxury safari adventure.

My name is Betty Morgan, and ever since I was mesmerized by the majestic animals at the zoo as a child, Africa has held a special place in my heart. My first encounter driving through Kenya and witnessing the raw beauty of lions in their natural habitat marked the beginning of my lifelong journey into the heart of Africa. With the support of leading tour operators like Micato, Abercrombie and Kent, Globus, and Sita, I have honed my expertise in creating unforgettable luxury safari experiences across East Africa, South Africa, Rwanda, and Uganda.

The magic of Africa isn't just in its wildlife; it's in the unique experiences that await every traveler willing to explore its vast landscapes. I encourage you to immerse yourself fully, ideally staying 10 to 14 days or more, blending your stays across luxury lodges, hotels, and unmissable tented camps. These camps, with a marvelous blend of luxury and nature, offer an awe-inspiring experience with amenities like marble bathrooms and both indoor and outdoor showers.

Having visited East and South Africa eight times, most recently leading a group in May 2023, I've witnessed the awe-inspiring gorillas of Uganda, the mighty Victoria Falls, and the vibrant city of Cape Town. Each visit deepens my love for this extraordinary continent and fuels my desire to share it with others. One of my most cherished memories involves an early morning game drive followed by breakfast among hippos in the river, and a surprise dinner under the stars in Tanzania—moments etched in my memory forever.

When planning luxury safaris in Africa, I meticulously tailor each itinerary to capture the essence of the continent, considering the client's expectations, budget, and the optimal time of year. With the intimate nature of accommodations and vast distances between sites, I leverage my extensive knowledge to ensure a seamless safari experience, often recommending flights between camps to maximize time spent amidst the wildlife.

The feedback from my clients is a testament to Africa's transformative power. They often describe their luxury safaris as exceeding expectations, reflecting on the unforgettable wildlife, breathtaking night skies, and warm local hospitality. Many become so enamored they eagerly plan their return, exploring new regions and deepening their connection with the continent.

One of my recent clients shared that their safari experience with me was "the trip of a lifetime" and that they "can't wait to go back and explore more of Africa's hidden gems." I am here to help you craft your own extraordinary journey, ensuring your safari adventure is nothing short of extraordinary.

    Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda

    An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Adventure

      Among all the trips I’ve been lucky to take as a travel agent, few stand out quite like gorilla trekking in Rwanda. This trip blends the thrill of the wild with simple, genuine moments in nature. Let me share a bit about those memorable days in May, when a group of eight of us headed out on an adventure t...

    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!
