Meet Tania - Founder & Senior Curator

I’m Tania, the Founder and Senior Curator behind Kaya Concierge. My story begins in South Africa, where I grew up surrounded by wide‑open landscapes, warm hospitality, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of exploration. That early love for travel and connection shaped everything that followed.

After 12 years in the United Kingdom, I moved to Dubai in 2013 — a global crossroads that has become both my home and the perfect base for discovering the world. With over 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, exceptional service and thoughtful travel design sit at the heart of everything I do.

I’ve travelled widely — from city breaks and adventure holidays to Indian Ocean escapes and unforgettable safaris. My own travel style is wonderfully varied: boutique hotels, luxury resorts, self‑catering villas, apartments, lodges, cruises, and adventure‑focused stays. This breadth of experience allows me to curate journeys that feel aligned with each traveller’s preferences, pace, and personality.

My travels have taken me to:

South Africa, the UK, Zanzibar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, Thailand, Singapore, Sardinia, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, Croatia, the USA, and the UAE.
And while every destination has its own magic, Cape Town and London remain my favourite cities — places that feel like chapters of my own story.

I love discovering destinations through food and drink, wandering through nature, or simply walking the streets of a new city to absorb its rhythm. Travel, for me, is about connection — to people, to place, and to the feeling of being at home anywhere in the world.

I specialise in South African itineraries for couples’ escapes, solo travellers, and small groups. Every itinerary is shaped with intention, flexibility, and genuine care. Whatever your needs, preferences, or pace, I’m here to design a journey that feels effortless, meaningful, and entirely your own.

Welcome to Kaya Concierge — your journey begins here.
