With over 30 years of experience across 33 African countries, I bring unmatched depth of knowledge, cultural understanding, and on-the-ground expertise to every journey.
As an accessible travel planner and companion, I help travellers explore the world with confidence — regardless of age, mobility, or ability. Together, we turn challenges into possibilities, creating journeys that inspire freedom and connection. Let’s plan your accessible adventure together!
Every journey should tell a story — yours. Whether you seek stillness or thrill, solitude or celebration, I design journeys that mirror your rhythm — handcrafted, considered, and deeply personal. Each itinerary blends discovery with detail, art with logistics, and authenticity with comfort — because travel should feel like it was made for you.
Some journeys can’t be booked from a brochure. They’re born from imagination, courage, and a lifetime spent leading expeditions into the wild and the unknown. With deep logistical knowledge and fearless creativity, I design out-of-the-box itineraries for travellers who crave something extraordinary — experiences that challenge, surprise, and stir the soul. From desert crossings to private air charters and remote expeditions, every adventure is planned with precision and heart. Because true adventure doesn’t follow a map. It writes its own.
Exclusive Luxury Expeditions by Vivie Gunning For the discerning traveller who seeks the extraordinary, I design and personally lead luxury expeditions that go far beyond expectation. These journeys balance elegance with authenticity — where comfort meets curiosity, and every detail is considered with precision and heart. From private charters to remote camps and immersive cultural moments, each experience is hand-crafted through a lifetime of expertise and connection across Africa and beyond. Because true luxury isn’t found in excess — it’s found in access: to meaning, to beauty, and to moments that can never be repeated
Wildlife photography isn’t just about capturing a moment — it’s about understanding rhythm, patience, and connection. I lead immersive photography journeys that go beyond the lens, teaching travellers how to see, feel, and frame the wild in its truest form. From golden dawns in the Okavango to the soft twilight of the Kruger, every day offers new light, new behaviour, and new stories. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned photographer, I’ll help you refine your craft and return home with more than images — with emotion, memory, and mastery
Some of the best memories are made when generations travel together. From multi-generational safaris to cultural explorations that inspire curiosity, I design journeys that engage everyone — from the wide-eyed wonder of children to the quiet appreciation of adults. Each itinerary balances safety, excitement, and education, turning every day into an experience to share and remember. Because adventure, at its heart, is even better when it’s shared.
A safari should never feel generic. I design personally guided experiences that bring Africa’s wilderness to life — tailored to your pace, interests, and sense of adventure. From intimate tented camps to luxury lodges and remote fly-ins, every detail is arranged with care and insider knowledge gained from decades in the field. Whether it’s tracking big cats at dawn, gliding across the Okavango Delta, or sharing stories by the fire under a velvet sky — your safari becomes more than a trip. It becomes a memory stitched into the rhythm of Africa itself.
