View Profile

Travel Beyond is a family-owned luxury travel consultancy. Our mission is to create custom-tailored journeys that exceed each client’s expectations.

Our expert consultants are full-time employees who hold salaried positions and do not earn commission on sales. Our only incentive is to make our clients happy by designing custom safaris and exceeding service expectations. Planning safaris is not just a job for us; it’s our passion. Although each client partners with one consultant, the collective knowledge of the best safari team in the industry is a unique bonus in our safari planning process.

We embrace our position in the market as a consultant that represents only the interests of our clients. We have no financial interests in Africa (or anywhere else in the world.) We do not own any lodges or hotels on the ground, and we’re not affiliated with any lodge chain or tour company. Our consulting bias only comes from our vast firsthand experiences and thousands of hours personally exploring safari lodges, camps and hotels.

For more than 40 years we have vetted the best and most ethical service providers on the ground to ensure our client’s safari experiences are seamless. Ethical providers will ensure Africa is there for our children and grandchildren to see. Many of our consultants have lived and worked in the safari industry in Africa, building trusted, personal relationships with our on-the-ground partners. We’re dedicated to only working with highly reliable tour and transfer companies, many of which have been serving our customers since Travel Beyond’s first years in business!
