Georgina Sargent

CURATED TRAVEL THROUGH THE AFRICAN CONTINENT

Georgina Sargent Travel is an agency specialising in the African continent. We are a discreet, well connected and informed to-the-minute team organising trips for discerning clients who want the world at their fingertips. Logistically sound itineraries are executed with precision and care to create the most unique experiences imaginable. These could involve staying in a safari camp in the Maasai Mara specifically built to your needs, sleep outs on Botswana’s Makgadikgadi salt pans without another soul in sight, private viewings of Cape Town’s impressive Zeitz MOCAA museum and access to the most sought-after safari guides on the continent.

what we do

our focus

You are the sole focus of every holiday. Our restricted list of clients allows us to carefully invest the time needed to find out exactly what makes you tick whether it’s a short sojourn, multi-generational trip or three-month long sabbatical. No two holidays are the same with every bespoke itinerary starting with a blank canvas and the option to reach us at any time, day or night.

Georgina visits the African continent six weeks a year to further her research and ensure on-the-ground knowledge for her clients’ diverse tastes. In the past, she has faced up to numerous challenges with unmatched enthusiasm from tracing the lineage of a client’s family history to the doorstep of their old Kenyan home to exploring the remotest reaches of Chad upon special request.

“You either get the point of Africa or you don’t. What draws me back year after year is that it’s like seeing the world with the lid off”

our team

who we are

Georgina Sargent and her purposely small team is based in the UK with clients from all over the world. Our tastes draw upon Georgina’s 20 years of experience in honing the most extraordinary holidays during her time as a head of department and director at two leading London tour operators. Her knowledge is grounded by her early days as a manager at Robin Pope Safaris, headed by Zambia’s most elite walking guide, where she managed a five-bedroom house in the South Luangwa National Park. Since her time in Africa, she has nurtured her connections like lifelong friends whom she considers the lifeblood of any itinerary.

our relationships

trusted connections

Our go-to is to use the most reliable resources in the industry. Each holiday enlists a number of trusted individuals such as an exceptional walking guide whose career Georgina monitored from the beginning until the guide set up her own exclusive private camp. In some cases, we have organised safaris for clients who have travelled with us since they were children venturing on their first ever family safari.

Some of our longstanding clients who have travelled with us year in and year out over decades request that we orchestrate introductions when considering other destinations such as Asia, North America and Latin America. Our network of independent operators is similarly dedicated to delivering the very best experiences the world has to offer with the same tailor-made ethos.
