With a solid foundation built at the Ritz Carlton Hotel Company and Hidden Doorways in California, Kelley has spent 27 years in the global travel industry, now firmly rooted in the safari world where she’s found her true calling.

Kelley’s dedication to clients is unmatched—she loves consulting with each traveler to uncover the safari experience that’s perfect for them and is on hand 24 hours a day to attend to their needs from arrival to departure.

Proud mom to two ‘bush kids,’ she also has a dog and a cat named Congo, a nod to her solo 40th birthday gorilla trek in the DRC and a memorable climb to the world’s most active lava lake volcano.
