Game drive in South Africa

   I can not think of a more exciting destination than southern and eastern Africa.  I work with some of the best in-destination lodges, camps, hotels, guides and tour operators to provide carefully curated vacations for my clients.  It is my pleasure to reduce the stress and risk involved in planning this sort of itinerary.  I can provide a small group package, or fully customize a private experience for my clients.  There are a lot of logistics to this sort of a vacation, and making all of it come together seamlessly is my specialty.  I work with incredible professionals who are in destination to ensure that my clients have the very best possible experience.  


     While in Africa, my clients enjoy all sorts of activities.  Of course, safaris and game drives are the most popular, and there is so much more!  I can arrange hot air balloon rides, horseback riding safaris, bike riding safaris, walking safaris and more.  I work with the luxurious Zambezi Queen river boat to offer incredible Chobe River cruises to my clients where animals come to YOU because you are on the river!  My clients take helicopter rides over Victoria Falls, over Savannahs, deserts and more.  A visit to the Winelands and Cape Town in South Africa are also incredibly popular. A visit with the penguins is a fun day trip on the cape, too.   And the most exclusive and sought after African adventure these days is Gorilla tracking.  


     It is my pleasure to help make this sort of once-in-a-lifetime vacation as wonderful as it should be for my clients.  My goal as your travel agent is to reduce your stress and risk, and to elevate the entire experience from planning, travel, until you return home.

Wonderful Agent
We booked our European vacation, including a river cruise and an additional week in Germany, with Diane over 1 year ago. Who knew Covid would still be so prevalent in our lives. We are in the process of rebooking and she could not be more accommodating. Diane has been there every step of the way, keeping us informed and giving us options. She has been so patient and helpful with our questions, and concerns. Diane is amazing at what she does. She truly cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her for any type of vacation plans you are considering. She is very knowledgeable and well traveled.

Trip of a lifetime!
We contacted Diane earlier this year to begin our travel plans to Italy. Diane was not only super responsive and friendly but she was also very knowledgeable in the cities we were considering in Italy. She travels frequently to several destinations each year. I think this is a huge advantage when she makes recommendations on travel plans, excursions and hotels.

We gave Diane tentative dates and cities and she was able to quickly put together several options. Everything was handled with exceptional attention to detail.

Our vacation was absolutely perfect. Every hotel check-in, train ride, flight, car service, and excursion went perfectly! Her list of preferred vendors and hotels can not be beat.

We absolutely recommend Diane's services to any one looking for the ultimate vacation experience.

The best trip of our lives!
Diane planned our first trip to Spain and we couldn't have done it without her. She was detailed, quick, and answered every question I had. She planned our whole trip, which included transportation to/from airport, train rides, hotels, and excursions. Diane was fantastic and I highly recommend her.

Above-and-beyond every step of the way
I have known Diane for over 30 years and she is one of the most elegant people I know. So, luxury travel is right up her alley. However, I put our friendship to the test and asked her to find me a "City Slickers" style cattle drive. And she did not disappoint! I am just back from my week on the range and am a better person for it. Not only did she ply her network to find the best outfitter, but she made the initial contacts and set me up with top-shelf travel insurance. 'Cause you never know what's going to happen out there. Upon my return, I thought I left my iPad in airport security and Diane committed to help me out (and I quote) "I will do whatever it takes to make it right for you on my end". She is truly the best of the best, don't think twice about contacting her.

Diane Frisch responded:
Thanks so much, Joni - I am so glad that the trip was everything you had wished for! I am glad I could work my connections to find you the best guides to put this together, and that your IPad was so quickly located! Your review means the world to me and I am truly grateful.
