American-born Kelley may be a Virginia native, but she’s a devoted Africa convert. 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. Her seamless coordination with lodges, camps, and private guides ensures every detail is taken care of, allowing her to deliver the magic of Africa’s wild places.

Some of Kelley’s favorite spots in Zimbabwe include Gonarezhou National Park in the southeastern Lowveld, and the misty Eastern Highlands, where she finds comfort in Tony’s Coffee Shop’s towering cakes. 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.
