Plan your holiday to Africa with our handy guides

Our favourite solo holiday ideas: four ways to travel for one 

Four ideas from Kirstin Curling: a safari for one, women-only small group tours, sailing solo, and tours made for independent adventures. She also shares her HOT tip on booking early to secure single staterooms.

Solo travel styles: four ways to travel on your own

Small Group Discovery Tours

But if you're weighing up the best way to explore a destination, this guide will help you decide whether small group touring is the right fit for your travel style and why a small group discovery tour could offer the best of both worlds.

With 11 years experience as cabin crew based both in New Zealand & Dubai, I'm excited to share my passion for travel with you.

I've made some incredible memories over this time and would love to help inspire you to create your own. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hey there!

I’m Laura, the smiley face you’ll spot as soon as you walk through our office door. With a serious case of wanderlust, I’ve done it all —lived abroad, cruised the seas, island-hopped, and even cruised around South Africa on the back of a motorbike. But let me tell you about my ultimate love affair Africa!

For three incredible years, I bounced between Australia and South Africa, exploring every corner of the country, often on the back of a motorbike. I’ve sat with elephants for hours, watched big cats hunting, and slept under the stars in the middle of a game reserve. My heart belongs to the wild, and if you’re an animal lover like me, trust me, Africa will capture yours too.

Nothing lights me up more than helping people experience this magic. The more I learn, the more excited I get about sharing these adventures with you! Whether it’s a dream safari, a relaxing cruise, or an off-the-beaten-path escape, I’m here to bring your travel dreams to life.

Let’s make your adventure happen!

"Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer" - and I'm incredibly lucky to have built a career around that belief, helping people turn their travel dreams into unforgettable real-life experiences.

I've spent years exploring the world, from iconic cities to hidden gems, and I love sharing that first-hand knowledge with my customers.

Growing up in South Africa meant almost 40 years of adventure in my own "backyard" - from incredible wildlife to breathtaking landscapes. Africa will always have my heart.

Beyond that, my travels through the UK, Spain, Greece, Turkey and wider Europe have deepened my love of history, culture, and those authentic little local moments you remember long after you get home.

These days, my perfect holiday is anywhere I can be with my husband and our amazing daughters. As a family, we're drawn to island escapes - they offer something for everyone, from relaxation to adventure. Some of my all-time favourites include the Cayman Islands, Madagascar, Fiji and the Seychelles.

Professionally, I bring 20 years' experience in the South African travel industry, specialising in Corporate, Group and Incentive Travel. A career highlight for me was being named ASATA (Association of Southern African Travel Agents) Corporate Consultant of the Year in 2013 - recognition I'm still incredibly proud of.

Now I'm thrilled to bring that experience to the New Zealand travel industry, here at House of Travel Rotorua. I pride myself in rapid response times, strong attention to detail as well as my calm and systematic approach. All of which help save you time, stress and guesswork.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a multi-generational family holiday, business travel, a school tour or a tailor-made itinerary that's completely unique to you. I'll work with you to create a trip that fits your needs, style and budget.

Don't just dream about it - let's start planning. Get in touch today and let me turn YOUR travel dreams into your next boarding pass.
