Travel advice from people worth listening to.

Ella's Local Advisors aren't influencers paid to promote places.

They're travel journalists, guidebook authors, chefs, sommeliers, historians and deeply connected locals who know their destinations firsthand.

Book a private 1:1 session to get honest answers, personal recommendations and a second opinion on your trip — with no commissions, kickbacks or hidden agenda.

Why an Ella Advisor?

They know the place. Not second-hand recommendations. Firsthand judgement from someone with deep ties to your destination.
They work for you. Advisors are paid for their time, never for recommending a hotel, restaurant or tour.
They have opinions. Ask what's actually worth the money, where they'd stay, what they'd skip, and what they'd do differently.

Amanda grew up at the foot of Kilimanjaro, where the Marangu trail passes her grandfather's house and the national park gate was a 15-minute drive from home. Together with her sister, she co-found Tanzania's locally owned, women-led safari company, and loves sharing Tanzania’s culture, food, wildlife, and warmth.
