About Melissa
Having grown up in the Sussex countryside, I eventually hung up my wellies and set off on what was meant to be a three-month adventure to South Africa. Nearly five years later, Africa had well and truly taken hold of me. Over the past 20 years, I have been fortunate enough to explore much of Southern and East Africa, from the floodplains of Botswana and the open plains of Kenya and Tanzania, to the rainforests of Uganda, the ever-surprising landscapes of Namibia, and the cheeky lemurs of Madagascar. South Africa remains especially close to my heart, with family ties in both Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal, so it is somewhere I return to as much as possible. While Africa will always be my first love, I have also travelled through India, Peru and Mexico, always curious to experience the different wildlife and cultures around the world. I also love escaping to parts of Italy where English is rarely spoken, there is something rather special about finding yourself somewhere completely local and off the beaten track. For me, it is all about designing journeys that are luxurious, yet offer unique experiences and open the door to the places I know and love so well.
