Meet Kirsty

My love affair with Africa started over 30 years ago, on my first wildlife safari to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Since then, I have explored and delved deep into the remote corners of Africa and the world, uncovering experiences and hand-selecting local safari experts, to help me create authentic travel adventures for my clients.

Inspirational Travel Stories

Kirsty created the most wonderful holiday for us through the Western Cape and Garden Route. Her knowledge of the area is unrivalled and it was a pleasure to work with her on planning the trip. The trip itself went perfectly smoothly and she was always on hand and checking in to make sure everything went well. I would highly recommend Anywhere in Africa and I will certainly be using them again in the future.

Kirsty Gordon and the Anywhere in Africa team made our trip better than we could have possibly imagined. She was spot-on in our accommodations and the suggestions on activities. She gave guidance on everything from local customs & tipping to packing. 

I knew our family of 8 is not accustomed to "roughing it" and would prefer our usual creature comforts. But I honestly did not know accommodations this nice were available on safari. We stayed in Kenya. The people were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. The only thing we didn't do well was bring more warm layers for the time of year (late July to early August). But the guides all had blankets in their vehicles and the "camps" even did our laundry. I had just underestimated the amount of time we would be outdoors in the early morning and evenings (the elevation is surprisingly high in many places). 

Kirsty gave us information on a hot air balloon ride/safari. We were not going to do it at first (I hate flying), but it was fantastic! So smooth and peaceful...with wonderful views. It was worth the early morning wake-up. The drive to our balloon in the dark also turned into a game drive. We saw animals in the dark that we did not see elsewhere. We stayed in 2 different places for game drives which gave us 2 different experiences. We loved them both. Certainly, seeing the great migration was amazing. The amount of life that follows that migration is really more incredible. And the locations where we stayed were convenient and felt private. We were not overrun with other tourists. I could definitely go on and on about the trip and Kirsty's planning. I would highly recommend her and going to Kenya. I am sure the other locations in Africa where she sends clients are just as stunning.

We traveled to Rwanda and Zimbabwe this summer and had a fantastic experience. Anywhere in Africa planned everything for us. Kirsty Gordon was terrific!

Kirsty was outstanding to work with and certainly set us up for the trip of our lifetime. When we reached out to her, she arranged a time for us to zoom so she could get to know us and hear our dreams for our trip. She listened carefully as she provided us a very basic framework to start and allowed us to have time to look into the itinerary and accommodations.

When we set up the second zoom she listened and made adjustments to our trip. Kirsty planned a trip that included a tree lodge, fabulous tents, gorgeous hotels, and cultural experiences throughout the trip. She provided all the details we would need, checklists, book suggestions, and other possibilities to consider. Once the trip was finalized, she was more than willing to meet with us to go over any questions/concerns we might have had. She rechecked with us on all of the details necessary for the 23-day trip which included several flights, transfers, custom/visa checks, health records and incidentals. Kirsty was so comforting and available if we had any questions during our journey. We truly believe we would not have had this type of experience without the expertise of Kirsty.

Thank you Anywhere In Africa for making our dreams come true!


Shelley Anthony

Our first safari and it surpassed even our wildest dreams. The people - Gwen, Theo, Gora, Oscar and the rest of the staff catered to our every need and desire. 

The wildlife? We saw it all and then some. Gora knew when and where to go to find them. The rains hadn’t arrived yet so it was very dry. By the time we boarded the flight to Cape Town we had checked every box. 

Thank you Kwetswani! You will forever have a piece of our hearts! And thanks to Kirsty at Anywhere in Africa Safaris for finding the right adventure for us!
