About Us

Wilma Rossouw

I love what I do! As a seasoned luxury travel designer, with a career in travel since 1989, I have gained a valuable understanding of travel planning and personal service. My enthusiasm for travel, discovering new places, and experiences are never-ending and I enjoy sharing that with my clients.

From your first phone call to your return taxi home, I will be at the other end of the line 24/7. I personally meet with my clients, make sure I understand their expectations, this way we pride ourselves on excellent personal service. Your holiday needs to be stress-free and relaxing, and I will endeavor to make that happen.

Exclusive Private Travel, an extension from Exclusive Africa, as you might know us, offer the very best in service with a passion for detail, quality, and value. Whether it is a last-minute weekend away or an extended specialist expedition to a personally undiscovered continent; I have the knowledge and support of my partnership with 360 Private Travel, giving me global resources to handle every detail. Through my partnership with 360 Private Travel I am able to access the advantages of their prestigious Virtuoso membership, adding VIP status and exclusive benefits at over 100+ worldwide luxury hotels and properties. 

Why do we travel?

Our experience of travel has been very different recently, some of us may question why we long for it so much and what we are now ready to experience.  We may crave adventure and need to get away from our comfort zone and into a new situation, or we may simply need the opposite – somewhere to kick off our shoes and wriggle our feet in the sand.  

Whether it is the taste of fresh coconut water from the roadside in Costa Rica or the fizz of champagne from a bar in St Tropez,  the exhilaration from capturing a leopard on camera during  a game drive in Botswana, travel takes us on journeys out of ourselves. 

Sustainable Travel

We have grown accustomed to keeping our distance and respecting personal space, enjoying walks in local parks and simple home pleasures. We have relished the clear skies and the birdsong.  So will the post COVID traveller be more respectful and more appreciative of the world’s natural beauty?

As sustainability has become more important for travellers, eco-friendly destinations contributing to the protection of local environments were rising in popularity even pre-COVID. Appreciating nature whether it is in the jungle or under the ocean and experiencing conscious luxury in eco-hotels both at home and overseas are experiences available to careful travellers who don’t  want to compromise on style and luxury. Just as the places we visit are a mirror reflecting our curiosity, everything we do and where we choose to spend money, reflects our values and our hopes for the future.

As a travel designer, I provide travellers with more meaningful experiences in some of the world’s best natural settings, cities, and cultures. As a company, we’re committed to helping travelers explore the planet responsibly in a way that protects the places they love for future generations to come.

We believe that sustainable travel revolves around three pillars:
  1. Travel that protects the planet
  2. Travel that supports local communities
  3. Travel that preserves cultural & natural heritages

We celebrate and support destinations, properties and tour operators that champion sustainability.  Showcase success stories and raise awareness of how sustainable travel is transforming the travel industry for good.
