YOUR GATEWAY TO YOUR BEST TRAVELS!

Who is Pathfinder Travel Consultancy?

I am, and my name is Claudia Phantshi, not only am I a travel planner and designer, but I am the Pathfinder.

I am driven to create for you, bespoke trips where each journey is carefully made for you from scratch, and is seamlessly tailored with your interests and preferences in mind.

Why book with me?

Not only am I passionate about my country South Africa, and the African continent as a whole, from our geographical landscapes, our fauna and flora, I am passionate showing them to you and have you experience the best of Africa authentically. Where not only your eyes and mind will be opened but your heart too, because there is no better way to experience Africa without meeting her colourful people and their even more vibrant cultures. I want to take you to places that are not just about ticking the bucket list.

Whether you wish to travel solo, as a couple, a family getaway, group travel, on a romantic honeymoon, I can put together something that you and your travel party can enjoy, including excursions that you will love to explore!

I am passionate about creating unique experiences that focus on the arts and cultural tourism (these include; music, art, stage performance, fashion and wine and culinary events ), sports, retreats, adventure tourism and destination weddings.

I encourage my travellers to venture off the beaten track, and explore hidden gems!
