Custom
Itineraries
Hi! I'm Emma and I've been helping people plan their dream holiday for around 7 years, and I love it! My specialities are off-the-beaten track tailor made itineraries, as it's where I love to go myself. The place I love to help people plan the most is Tanzania, as I feel I know every corner of it. I lived there when I was younger and go back regularly with my husband. Each time we do, we always try to explore somewhere new! That being said, I can help you plan anywhere, so just let me know where you want to go and what you're hoping to see and do, and we'll take it from there!

ABOUT
I'm Emma and I am the founder of That Travel and the Sustainable Travel Podcast. I'm a responsible and regenerative travel advocate, as well as an ex-travel agent (I worked as an agent for 8 years in sales and sales management) My speciality areas are: ✨Tanzania ✨South Africa (including eSwatini and Lesotho) ✨Egypt ✨Namibia ✨Madagascar But I have also travelled extensively through most parts of the world and love to do so by immersing myself in local culture and travelling 'like a local' as much as I possibly can. I truly feel that sustainable and regenerative tourism is the antidote to overtourism, and that by choosing carefully where we spend our money, so that we support local environments, local people and local economies, we can change travel for the better and make it a force for good! What can you hire me for? ✨ Sustainable travel guides (including eco hotel and local guest house suggestions, local restaurants, 'give back'/non profit initiatives and overlanding routes) ✨Travel consultations to help you understand a destination better - I hope to help you get to the heart of where you're travelling, learn local cultures and be a better traveller! Or if you're looking for something else: ✨Sustainable and responsible travel writing - guides to help others plan! ✨Group trip planning - as a sales agent with a high success rate at sales, I can help you plan and sell your trip If you don't see what you're looking for, drop me a message and I'm sure I can help 🤍

Questions
