MEET LANDI BURNS • LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR

My Love Language Is Taking Care of People

I’m Landi. I’ve spent more than three decades in hospitality, and the part I love most has never changed: getting to know people and taking care of the details that make them feel at home.

Today, I bring that same care to the journeys I plan, from African safaris and European discoveries to holidays shared with the people you love.

THE JOURNEY THAT BROUGHT ME HERE

From Welcoming Guests to Planning Their Journeys

I started working in hotels when I was 16 and left for my first solo trip to Europe at 17. That early curiosity became a life in travel. I went on to manage luxury resorts and lodges with my husband, including some of the best in the world. Working in hospitality operations taught me the behind-the-scenes details that make a guest’s stay feel effortless.

Over the years, I’ve lived in Botswana, Tanzania, Central America and Fiji. South Africa is home now. Living and working in these places has shaped the way I look at travel: through the people, the hospitality and the small moments that stay with you.

That experience comes with me when I plan a trip. I know how much coordination goes into the moments that seem effortless, from a thoughtful welcome to a smoothly timed transfer. Leave the logistics and details to me, so you can spend your time creating memories with the people you love.

One of my greatest joys is hearing from clients while they are away, knowing they are enjoying the journey we have planned together.

ALWAYS CURIOUS

There Is Still So Much to Discover

I haven’t been everywhere. There are still wonderful places on my own list. Where I haven’t travelled personally, I work with trusted local experts who know the destination inside out, bringing their knowledge together with my understanding of you to create a journey for you and your loved ones.

WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOUR TRIP

The Little Things Are the Big Things

The best journeys begin with understanding you. Your interests, your routines and the people travelling with you help me make choices that feel personal.

I Take Time to Listen

Are you a morning person or a night owl? Do you love a day full of discovery, or prefer time to linger over lunch? I want to understand what you enjoy before we start filling an itinerary.

I Think Beyond the Itinerary

The right room arrangements, a guide who connects with your children, or a sensible route between stops can change how a trip feels. My hospitality background helps me look closely at those details.

I’m Still Here When You Travel

Taking care of you does not stop once you board the plane. I remain available while you are away, working with trusted partners on the ground if plans need attention.

HOW I PLAN YOUR TRIP →

PERSONAL MEANS PERSONAL

No Two Journeys Are the Same

We are all different kinds of travellers. What becomes the highlight of a vacation is often something deeply personal, rather than the biggest experience on the itinerary. These are a few of the details that have mattered to my clients.

Fifteen Minutes Among the Books

A client’s little girl loved books. A private-access visit to see how books were restored in a library lasted just fifteen minutes, yet it became the highlight of her vacation.

A Tennis Fan’s Wimbledon

For a client who loved tennis, a private tour of Wimbledon brought a personal passion into the journey. Knowing what someone loves helps me look beyond the usual sightseeing list.

A Cooking Experience to Enjoy

A traveller with coeliac disease was worried about joining a cooking class. A private gluten-free cooking experience offered a way to make that interest part of the trip, with their dietary needs at the centre of the planning.

TRUSTED WITH THE DETAILS

A Relationship That Travels With You

I want to be someone you feel comfortable turning to whenever you are thinking about a trip. As we get to know each other, I can build on what you have loved before and help you discover something new.
