Twende Travel specializes in luxury travel and we know that your time is precious. Let Twende Travel handle everything and “Let’s go!”

Let’s Go!


What Does “Twende” Mean?

It’s Swahili for “let’s go.”  You’ll hear it after breakfast when your safari guide in Kenya or Tanzania is ready to start the game drive and when it’s time to find the perfect spot for “sundowners.”

Of course, Twende Travel doesn’t only focus on trips to Africa – that’s just one of the many places our clients visit when they’re looking for a memorable vacation.

Our founder, Lissa Caltrider, has been in the trip planning business for decades, and her love of travel is infectious. She and her family have seen the world, and her passion for making sure every day of a trip is better than the next has benefitted hundreds of clients.

Every trip begins with a detailed consultation so we understand exactly what you are trying to create. We work together to identify more than just where you’re going.  We’ll also decide on what you want to see, and how to spend your time.

“After spending time with us to learn about what we were looking for in a family spring break vacation, Lissa put together the perfect experience for us. She took care of all the details from hotel accommodations, private rides to and from the airport/hotel, and reservations for dinner and a number of excursions. She left no page unturned and I truly don’t know of anything that could have made our vacation more perfect!”

“Planning a trip to Europe in the summer for my family was something I was dreading. You 100% exceeded my expectations. In every way possible. I didn’t understand why our first conversation was so long, but now I get it. From the very beginning, it was clear this was OUR trip! You know US! The hotels and apartments you chose were all five star and we appreciated the variety. We felt like VIPs throughout the trip. I didn’t know skip-the-line passes were even a thing, and they were HUGE! Especially for a family of five in Europe in the summer! Everyone should have a Lissa!”

“From start to finish, Lissa went above and beyond to create the perfect luxurious experience for me and my partner. Every detail was taken care of, from gorgeous hotels to private tours and transportation. When we arrived at our first hotel in Tel Aviv, we were told that we were being upgraded to a larger room and that was thanks to Lissa! Lissa is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a true professional and she will be planning all of our trips from now on. Thank you, Lissa, for an unforgettable experience!”
