Beach. Bush. Boutique bliss - all in one epic adventure!

Here’s what’s in store on this 10 day Tanzania & Zanzibar journey (and it’s only €3750pp based on two sharing – unreal value!):

Day 1: Arrive in Dar es Salaam and kick off with a chilled night by the beach.

Days 2 - 5: Into the wild at Saadani National Park – boat safaris, big game, elephants, lions, hippos, a visit to a fishing village & local conservation projects (even a chance to spot turtle hatchlings!)

Days 6 - 9: Fly to Zanzibar! Boutique hotel in Nungwi, near the famous Mnemba Atoll. Village tours, spice farms, snorkelling, or just pure beachside relaxation.
Day 10: Head home with memories you’ll never forget.

It’s been a while, so here’s a little reintroduction 💛
Hi, I’m Joanne () and I love helping people plan unforgettable holidays — the kind that stay with you forever ✈️🌴

I specialise in:
✨ Tailormade long-haul adventures
✨ Bucket list & once-in-a-lifetime trips
✨ Dreamy honeymoons & romantic escapes
✨ Milestone celebrations — big birthdays, anniversaries, retirements
✨ Family-friendly long-haul holidays

My own travels started in my 20s working onboard cruise ships, then solo backpacking across the globe, and now adventuring as a family with my little boy 💕 From Australia to the Andes, I’ve covered a lot, but the bucket list just keeps growing!

I work with 400+ trusted suppliers and airlines through Travel Counsellors (fully licensed & bonded!) meaning you get amazing rates and complete peace of mind. I’m always just a message away, even outside office hours 💻📱

Whether you’ve got a wild idea, a notion, or no clue where to start- I’d love to help you plan something truly special 🧳🌍

"Joanne is absolutely incredible! I emailed her on a Sunday hoping for a reply by Monday/Tuesday. She replied on the Sunday evening, set up a video call for Monday, reverted on Tuesday with 3 super itineraries & everything was booked by Wednesday! Joanne professional, so knowledgeable & listens intently to the clients specific requests. I'm also self employed (x 25 years), I'm very fussy, and a bit of a control freak! Joanne is phenomenal at her job and I am thrilled to say that I will be handing over the rest of my travel bucket list to her!"

I am thrilled with this review and I'm so looking forward to this clients trip, it's going to be amazing. Once I have an idea of what you are thinking I can take your ideas and turn them into an phenomenal itinerary.

I just wanted to share a little bit of feedback, this was from one of my honeymoon clients. We did a meeting over zoom, I got to know what they were looking for and prepared the itinerary. We had one further meeting to make some adjustments on the initial itinerary and we were ready to get it booked.

"Joanne was brilliant and so helpful when booking our honeymoon, would highly recommend!"

I have lots more testimonials on my webpage and on my Instagram page.

If you are thinking of booking a trip with me, and are still unsure, I have a list of clients who have worked with me who would be happy to give you their first hand experience.
