Who we are
We're Susan and McKenzie, a team with three decades of experience and two areas of deep expertise. Susan has spent her career in Africa and on expedition ships to the ends of the earth. McKenzie knows the South Pacific island by island. And for the clients who travel with us year after year, we plan journeys across the globe, including Europe, Australia, Alaska and more, with the same care and the relationships of the Virtuoso network.

Africa & Expedition
Susan has spent much of her career in the bush and at the edge of the ice. She matches you to the right concession in Botswana, or the right ship for the Drake Passage, based on how you like to travel.
South Pacific
McKenzie plans French Polynesia, Fiji, Australia, and New Zealand with attention to the details that matter over long distances: routing, rest days, and which side of the island catches the evening light.
