An introduction
Getting to know us
Four decades ago, there was a change working its way through all things travel.
Four decades ago, there was a change working its way through all things travel.
The goals, expectations and desires of discerning travellers were evolving alongside a world that was beginning to invite them to expand their experiences, knowledge and passions. We caught sight of this change early on, and so Carrier sprang to life as a small travel agency in the village boutique we still welcome would-be-wanderers to today.
Africa was our speciality, with the aim to look beyond the run of the mill tour packages and to make people feel, well, whatever they wanted to. We did this by crafting flexible itineraries, experiences they thought out of the realms of possibility and a bespoke trip tailor-made just for them. Growing into the award-winning luxury travel specialists we are today.
The story
continues...
We see the world as a cornucopia of possibilities, because after all, everyone’s definition of a holiday is different. For us, it will always be about looking beyond a destination to the real-world interactions, the memorable moments to be had and how we make people feel while experiencing it all.
For every request there is a Carrier expert who is solely dedicated to your personalised trip from start to finish, armed with your dream destination, boundless imaginations and a goal to make you love a place as much as we do. We strive to plan everything to perfection and using our time to save you yours.
Our biggest secret to crafting fulfilling journeys, however, comes down to one thing – our relationships. It’s learning of passions, aspirations and needs that helps us make holidays truly momentous. So whether you know what type of traveller you are or want a destination to open your mind to new possibilities, we’re here to help you connect with communities, individuals, and perhaps most importantly, with yourselves and each other.
