HOW OUR JOURNEY STARTED
We are Rita (left) and Candice (right). Our journey commenced when Rita and Candice, both with over a decade of experience in the luxury safari industry, united their shared passions for travel, personal growth, and well-being.
Rita, originally from Portugal, spent more than 14 years immersing herself in the vibrant cultures and untamed beauty of the continent of Africa. Her corporate background in London led her to a transformative journey, heading to work in South Luangwa, Zambia.
Hailing from New York City with a lifelong career in hospitality, tourism, and events and extensive travel experience, having visited 58 countries, Candice seamlessly fuses her travel knowledge and logistical skills with a passion for wellbeing.
Combining their expertise and complementary skills, Transformative Journeys was born. They are dedicated to crafting personalized, meaningful, and transformative travel experiences for our clients. Rita and Candice inspire others to embrace change, explore the unknown, and foster personal growth and connections through their meticulously designed journeys.
