SOUTHERN AFRICA, PERSONALLY CRAFTED

Travelleia Africa

“Travelleia was built on experience, instinct and a belief that the best journeys are always personal.”
— Sarah Ford, Founder & Director

Overview

Travelleia is a female-led destination management company founded by Sarah Ford, alongside senior Southern Africa specialists Taryn Paola-Rogan and Georgie Evans. Together, they bring decades of experience in luxury travel, including senior experience at New Frontiers, and a shared passion for creating exceptional journeys across Southern Africa.

Covering South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia and Mozambique, the team combines extensive regional knowledge with an understanding of the demands of international luxury travel designers. From celebrated safari lodges and private reserves to smaller independent camps and lesser-known destinations, their expertise extends well beyond the established safari circuit.

Every journey is individually designed, drawing on the team's first-hand knowledge, trusted local contacts and personal approach to service. For travel designers, Travelleia offers the reassurance of working directly with three experienced women who understand the intricacies of tailor-made African travel.
