Elizabeth the founder of Extraordinary Journeys makes it on the Condé Nast Traveler 2021 Top Travel Specialists List! Learn about Elizabeth, her specialty areas, and the type of traveler that is the perfect fit for the team at Extraordinary Journeys. Congratulations to her and to the entire EJ Team. Winning these awards is all about our clients voting for and supporting us with their reviews and feedback. It's always such an honor. In 2020, COVID really proved what a tightly ...knit team we have here at EJ, and one of our all-time favorite experiences is pulling off a trip-of-a-lifetime using Elizabeth's and EJ's amazing personal and professional network in Africa: "A client contacted us on Christmas day for a honeymoon safari starting January 2nd. He wanted a very unique walking experience for his honeymoon in Tanzania and didn't plan until the very last minute because of COVID. I was able to reach @alexwalkerserian, owner of Serian Camp on Christmas day and convince him to set up a private fly camp in the Southern Serengeti just for our client. Our honeymooners will be hunting with the Hadza and will go on a five days walking safari in the Mwiba conservancy. We also negotiated a last minute special price. The clients were only able to do this thanks to my network and my special relationship with Alex."
