African Safari & Adventure Holiday Expert
After 40 years in the travel industry, I know my luxury clients are looking for more than just an opportunity to see a new destination. They want to be able to immerse themselves in the local culture and traditions with unique authentic experiences while enjoying an adventure along the way.
I believe that the most memorable vacations are the result of a detailed planning process. When I book a luxury trip for my clients, I do more than just arrange their accommodations and transportation. I work with them to consider every detail and plan an unforgettable itinerary that is uniquely suited to them with the highest degree of personalized service.
My specialties include:
- African Vacations — I have personally visited Africa several times and I have found each experience to be completely exhilarating. I have had the opportunity to watch lions play with their cubs in the wild. I also have witnessed predators and prey interacting at natural watering holes. I have stayed in African lodges, as well as, camps in the bush and along the rivers. I have even had to walk across suspension bridges in order to get to my tent for the night. I have ridden a camel at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt and sailed the Nile River.
- Horseback Riding Vacations — I am an equestrian myself, so I am the ideal person to plan your next horseback riding journey. I know how pivotal it is to reserve the right saddle and will tell you about the types of horses that are available at a given location. I understand the importance of matching the riding experience of clients to the horses and will also match you with the right destination. I would love to plan for you an African safari horseback riding vacation or arrange for a polo match in Argentina.
- Ski Vacations — I have skied around the United States, in Europe and several times in Chile. I know what it takes to plan a fun and thrilling luxury ski vacation for couples or families. As an experienced skier and 18 year National Ski Patrol Member, I can match the terrain to your skill level in order to ensure that you and your family enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
I believe my personal traveling experiences, as well as, my professional credentials allow me to plan expert vacations for all of my clients. Contact me today in order to begin planning your next luxury vacation with unique experiences, inspiring sights and renowned service you deserve.

Can't wait to go back to Africa!
Reviewed By Laraine - Califon, NJ | Traveled to Botswana ~ Africa
I loved working with Janice. She is easy going, flexible, and clearly aims to please. No matter how many questions or changes you ask of her, she gladly accommodates. Our trip to Africa was surely complicated, having to reserve bush planes, camp sites, visas, vaccinations, etc., but her attention to detail was perfect! Everything went perfectly! P.S. Same for the trip she planned for us to Costa Rica!

An unforgettable trip!
Reviewed By Carolyn - Columbia, NJ | Traveled to Machu Picchu ~ Peru ~ South America
Janice is a delight to work with! She is pro-active, goes beyond the call of duty and I trust her implicitly. She has been taking us through our "bucket list" of destinations and her recommendations have been spot on. She has customized our trips not just by what we want to see but also understanding our personalities so that we get the right guides, etc. During COVID and our first trip after she did everything possible to make us feel comfortable by giving us the necessary information and requirements. I highly recommend her!

The best honeymoon!!
Reviewed By Steven - Bergenfield, NJ | Traveled to Europe
Wow!! What a trip! My wife and I had our honeymoon all throughout Europe and everything was meticulously planned by Janice. I have traveled all over the world and there hadn’t ever been a trip that was nearly as first class as this one. Each and every detail was thought of from the car services taking us to and from the airport to the step-bys-step itinerary that was so well laid out in the travel binder Janice put together. We even were almost stranded in Paris due to cab labor strikes but low and behold, Janice put instruction in case this would happen! Because of this, we caught our train to Colmar just in time. We were away for 3 weeks and visited many countries. We stayed in wonderful hotels that were reasonably priced but still luxurious. This was not an easy honeymoon to plan but Janice figured it all out and it was an unforgettable and stress free trip. We can’t wait to use her again!!

Unmatched Customer Service
Reviewed By TE - Netcong, NJ | Traveled to Mexico
Janice has handled three trips for our family, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Our vacation trips require parties from both coasts to meet at the destination, and return. Janice handled all of the intricacies involved with flights, local transportation and everything with aplomb. In addition, for a short trip to London, we did not use Janice's services, but Janice was huge help by making recommendations, for accommodations, and in country travel, which were fantastic.
If you want to be treated with exceptional service, Janice is the person for you.

Honeymoon of a lifetime! We didn't have to thi
Reviewed By Adelheid - Bergenfield, New Jersey | Traveled to Paris ~ France ~ Europe
With over 30 years of experience and expertise, there isn't a better place to start than working with Janice. If you think you can plan an incredible trip on Expedia that can come close to using Janice, take my word for it—you can't! (I've tried!). What stands out most about Janice is her character and high level of integrity. She genuinely cares to make your trip the absolute best trip she can with your money. Her attention to detail is also invaluable and incomparable! Our honeymoon began in Paris and ended all over Italy. Janice had thought of EVERYTHING to make this trip the trip of a lifetime. We didn't have to think! She had everything planned to the minute. She even saved us by sending us with walking directions to the train station from our hotel in Paris JUST IN CASE there was a transportation strike...and there was! I have been using Janice for over a decade. You won't find a better agent! Thanks Janice! I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

An exceptional experience
Reviewed By Lynn and Bud - FLEMINGTON | Traveled to Africa
Janice created the most amazing vacation ever - an African Safari. It was an individual experience (no group), and the details were many, and handled exceptionally. From the time we met with Janice until our return, we hardly lifted a finger. Our assessment of the 2 weeks was that we could not come up with a thing we would change. Janice is a true professional, and a delight to work with.
