As the co-owner of Journeys by Emerge, Cayley has explored Africa's marvels, from living in the wilds of Botswana, to hiking with gorillas and free-diving with orcas and sharks. When she’s not exploring the continent, she is mixing up delectable sundowner cocktails!

Michelle Cerruti
Michelle's story is a blend of professional prowess and a deep connection to Africa's heart. Growing up in Zimbabwe, her love for the Zambezi, tiger fishing, and Kariba sunsets was nurtured. She ventured into the corporate world, using her financial and marketing skills to navigate its intricacies, but still remained a globetrotter at heart, seizing every opportunity to explore the world and quench her thirst for adventure. When she's not meticulously crafting personalized itineraries for her cherished clients, you'll find her raising a glass of fine wine (her other great love). Michelle finds immense joy in sharing Africa's enchantments with her clients, relishing exceptional wines, and savoring culinary escapades while surrounded by the untamed beauty of the African wilderness.
