About Me

A rare sight Rhino and buffalo locking horns!

Are you searching for someone with the experience and knowledge necessary to turn your vacation dreams and ideas into reality, and who will always go above and beyond to ensure that your trip is memorable and customized to your specifications? Then you're in the right place.

My specialty is creating personalized, one-of-a-kind itineraries for my clients. I won't send you a cookie-cutter, generic trip. Instead, you'll receive a day-by-day custom-designed itinerary to help you visualize your adventure.

I will also be there to help you through any travel dilemmas that may arise. Unfortunately, travel issues have become more common. Travel should be fun, and you shouldn't have to spend your vacation worrying about flight cancellations or changes that need to be made to your itinerary. Instead, you can rely on me to help you resolve any issues that might arise.

Recently, for example, a client called at 11 p.m. to inform me that the Mexican resort she was staying at had tested her for COVID and she was positive. But she needed to leave in 72 hours. So, I advised her to get another test done through a private doctor, which she did. Fortunately, those results were negative, and she was allowed to leave.I can help my clients in these ways because I have been in the travel industry for more than 40 years. During this time, I have also explored many countries and booked travel for my clients all over the world.

My specialty is booking African safaris. Each of Africa's countries offers a different type of adventure. So, it's important that you work with an agent who knows these destinations intimately and can guide you in choosing the right country for the safari you want. I personally have visited and booked the following countries:

  • South Africa
  • Zimbabwe
  • Zambia
  • Tanzania
  • Kenya
  • Botswana

Outside of Africa, I have also traveled to or lived in:

  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • South America
  • China
  • Singapore
  • Malaysia
  • Tahiti
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • Dubai
  • Bahrain
  • Muscat
  • Sri Lanka
  • England
  • Ireland
  • Scotland
  • Switzerland
  • Israel
  • Jordan
  • India
  • Canada

Please contact me if you are interested in booking a personalized vacation, or traveling with a group. I would love to discuss your vision and ideas with you and then create your next amazing adventure.

Creatively artistic memorable trip
Reviewed By Dream maker - Toronto, Canada | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
Shoba is a very pleasant and detail oriented person.
She has a deep understanding of a traveler's wishes and needs and puts together trips which contain all possible elements that one would look for in a trip.
Her trips are put together with cost in mind, without compromising on quality and even luxury.
She is an excellent communicator and planner.
Every item needed to be carried out by the traveler to prepare for the trip is communicated well ahead, clearly and in detail.
Timely updates and notifications are sent for the smooth execution of the trip.
She has the gift to make all travelers feel they belong to one big family. She is a lot of fun and the trips are so relaxing and extremely pleasant with no stress.

The best trip and service - what an experience!
Reviewed By Baldwin and Pam - Aurora, Ontario | Traveled to Israel ~ Middle East
Israel Tour
The most amazing trip. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see, plus much more. We were able to interact with the different nationalities in Israel and learn more about them and share a special meal with them.

The River Jordan Baptisms were extra special as was the communion at the Garden Tomb. Shoba was an amazing tour director and the choice of hotels and guides added to the flavour of the trip. We have so many wonderful memories and would rate the trip more than 5 stars if that option was available.

We are back in Canada now but the group we travelled with and the trip we enjoyed so much will be in our hearts and memories forever. Thank you Shoba, you exceeded all expectations and your warm / loving personality was a real bonus to all of us. We shared so much fun and so much laughter that we can’t wait to go on another trip with you sometime soon., as life permits. Thank you again and Shalom

The group at the wedding! With Bride  & Groom

A wedding experience in Zimbabwe!

I was leading a group to Zimbabwe, and three months before our departure, my supplier in Zimbabwe Isabella, told me that she would be on leave for a week at the exact time we will be touring her country. Out of curiosity, I asked what was the reason for her absence and she told me she was getting married, but assured me that her staff will take ...
