Anni Hoffmann & Ena Richards, Mother-and-Daughter Co-founders

We grew up living and travelling Southern Africa, and now we plan trips there from the US. We know both sides of this trip: what makes Southern Africa extraordinary, and what an American traveler actually needs to hear to feel confident booking a journey there. Every itinerary we build draws on relationships with lodges, guides, and estates we'd send our own family to.

Simple From The Start

How It Works

  1. Tell us about your dream trip

    Send us a note through the form, or give Anni or Ena a call. Share whatever you have, even if it's only a feeling or a place you can't stop thinking about.

  2. Talk it through with Anni or Ena

    We get to know you: when you'd like to travel, what lights you up, your travel style and the pace you enjoy. No pressure, and no obligation.

  3. We design your itinerary

    We build a journey tailored to you, then refine it together until every detail feels right.

  4. We book everything

    Lodges, flights, transfers, guides: we handle it all, at better rates than you would find booking direct.

  5. Travel with us a message away

    We're with you before you leave and while you're on the ground, so help is always close by.

What It Costs You

Our Planning Is Free

We don't charge a planning fee. Our lodges and partners pay us, so working with us costs you nothing extra.

Because of the relationships we've built over the years, we secure better rates or added extras that aren't available when you book direct. So you save overall, with two people who know Africa firsthand looking after every detail.

Good To Know

Common Questions

Do I pay you to plan my trip?
No. There is no planning fee. We're paid by the lodges and partners we book with.
Am I committed once we start talking?
Not at all. Our first conversation is about getting to know you and what you're dreaming of.
How soon will I hear back?
Within one business day, from Anni or Ena directly.
