Chester & Rose Travel, Harriet Sobey, Maun, Ngamiland, Botswana

Chester & Rose Travel is a boutique, owner-run Destination Management Company (DMC) based in Maun, Botswana, specialising in bespoke travel experiences across Southern Africa.

In a crowded and competitive travel market, standing out is harder than ever. Clients are no longer satisfied with cookie-cutter itineraries, they crave authenticity, exclusivity, and moments that truly move them.

We understand that pressure.

We help travel agents and tour operators rise above the noise by offering journeys that are anything but ordinary.

Our bespoke, cross-border, itineraries are crafted with heart, depth, and deep regional insight — designed to surprise, inspire, and connect.

We become the quiet advantage, working behind the scenes to help deliver the kind of travel that builds loyalty and sparks word-of-mouth magic.

Our independence enables us to operate across borders without restriction, allowing us to design and manage journeys that include the diverse highlights of Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.

What sets Chester & Rose apart is our hands-on approach and commitment to personal service. Every itinerary is meticulously curated and backed by on-the-ground support.

From airport arrivals to cross-border logistics, accommodations to private guiding, we take care of every detail from start to finish, offering our agents a direct line to a decision maker so our partners can deliver worry-free travel to their clients.

Strong supplier relationships are central to our success. We work collaboratively with trusted lodges, guides, transport providers, and conservation partners to create authentic and enriching experiences. Our long-standing local presence ensures that every journey is informed by current knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and genuine connection.

As a boutique DMC, we offer flexible and rapid responses tailored to each partner’s needs. We understand the fast-paced nature of the travel industry and prioritise efficient communication, transparent processes, and quick turnaround times.

With Chester & Rose, you gain more than a service provider — you gain a trusted regional partner invested in your clients’ satisfaction.

To further support our partners, we’ve created the Chester & Rose Agent Zone, a dedicated hub full of tools and resources to help sell Southern Africa with confidence.

From sample itineraries and seasonal planning guides to region-specific insights and the latest industry news, the Agent Zone is designed to make our agent’s job easier and their offerings stronger. As a boutique DMC, we’re agile, attentive, and deeply invested in our partners’ success.
