With more than 30 years’ experience and an impressive travel CV spanning over 70 countries, Tracey Blackshaw loves creating tailor-made travel experiences for her clients.

Having crossed off destinations throughout Europe, Asia, North America, South America and the South Pacific, it’s Africa that Tracey holds closest to her heart. The travel memory that stands out the most is Tracey’s white-water rafting experience down the Zambezi river. So it’s not surprising Africa is also the place she most loves booking for her clients.

Tracey fondly recalls planning the ultimate African safari experience. The centrepiece of the trip was the daily game drives in Sabi Sands (on the edge of Kruger National Park), where they were lucky enough to get up close and personal with a leopard. Returning to the lodge for a few sundowner drinks while watching the animals drink from the waterhole made the experience even more special for Tracey’s client.

Going from one extreme to the other, Tracey also specialises in Canada. She lived in Whistler for two years and still rates it as one of the most stunning alpine villages in the world. Having also done a ski trip to the French Alps, Tracey can talk through the pros and cons of each destinations, as well as many others, to help you plan the perfect winter getaway.

South America is another of Tracey’s areas of interest. Drawing on her own experiences hiking the Inca Trail and arriving to see the sunrise over Machu Picchu, Tracey loves booking experiences that allow her clients to really absorb and appreciate their surroundings – particularly in spectacular countries like Peru.

Get to know me

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

I recently planned a luxurious private tour through India for a multi-generational family. I was able to create the most amazing itinerary for them, visiting Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Jaipur and Jodhpur - and its a trip that the family will cherish forever!

What is your number one travel tip?

Pack everything you think you need, then cut it down to half. Aim for versatile items that can be mixed and matched. Less is more, and you'll thank yourself when navigating airports and packing light!

What are your favourite destinations and why?

Africa for the wildlife and people, Canada for the mountains, beautiful scenery and friendly people, Fiji for the snorkelling, and Peru. There is nothing better than a Peruvian smile!

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I dedicate time and personalised service to ensure every detail is covered, no matter how small. Plus, clients can reach me via WhatsApp while travelling, providing peace of mind knowing that I’m always available should they need assistance.

Infinity Galapagos was beyond perfect, we love, love, loved it. Quark Expeditions was the icing on the cake. A once-in-a-lifetime Antarctica experience that is imprinted in our minds forever. Many thanks from us to you."
