Cath's Journey

Raised in Kenya beneath the vast African skies, Cath brings an authentic and deeply personal understanding of the country and its most exceptional experiences. From iconic safari adventures and pristine beach retreats to meticulously curated multi-destination journeys, she uses her local expertise to craft seamless, bespoke holidays that embody sophistication and exclusivity. With Cath's extensive experience she is able to offer exceptional activity-focused experiences, such as cycling safaris and horseback safaris through Kenya and Gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda.

Our Expertise

Jimmy complements this with extensive global experience, having explored destinations including Mauritius, Barbados and the Maldives, as well as immersive journeys through Japan, Sri Lanka and India, and extraordinary encounters such as trekking with gorillas in Rwanda. An avid golfer, he has a keen eye for world-class golf experiences. Together, they have curated an impressive portfolio of luxury cruises worldwide—from the refined elegance of the Royal Clipper sailing from Barbados to the discerning itineraries of Azamara and the relaxed sophistication of Celebrity Cruises. Every journey they design is defined by world-class dining, exceptional entertainment, and deeply immersive cultural experiences.
