Craig Gettliffe
Founder and MD
Craig founded iHolidays with a long-time friend and business partner Brent, having initially started with customised skiing holidays oveseas, a passion that they mutually shared. With Brent moving ‘down-under’ Craig decided to focus more on exclusive use properties in the bush which is the foundation that the current business has been built.
He’s inspired and motivated by sharing his passion for travel in Africa with both new and repeat iHolidays clients. When time allows prefers nothing more than spending time with his family and friends in the bush and savouring those epic African sunsets.
