This month blog published on Valentine’s day can only be about romance. I cannot imagine a more romantic place than Africa to be shared and experienced with your love one.  Just google 'romantic African safaris' and a long list of itineraries will be displayed before your eyes. The truth is that any African safaris can be romantic, it is a matter of choosing the right lodges, experiences and make sure you have privacy, all of which can be organised by your favourite personal travel agent: me! 

Whether it is a romantic holiday, a proposal, your wedding or honeymoon, you are sure to create some the most magical memories of your couple life.

I feel that the best way to show what you could be experiencing is to let you imagine the two of you in those breathtaking lodges and places that I selected, soaking up the beauty that nature puts on show, just for you two 💖.

My 'Why': The African Bug

There is something undeniably unique about a safari holiday in Africa. It is a destination that will surprise you, as it will leave you with hundreds of indelible memories, no matter how many times you go. Just ask anyone you know who has been on an African safari - they’ll tell you that it was amaaaaazing and they’ll never forget it! I went on my first safari in 2003, in Kenya. It was planned at the last minute as an add-on activity to my relaxing beach holiday in Mombassa. Nowadays it has become my obsession, and there is no better place I’d rather be than in the African bush. My first experience of African wildlife was in Tsavo West National Park, and I still vividly remember the red dust on the road, the magnificent open skies, the postcard perfect sunsets and, of course, every wildlife encounter! Especially the cheetahs roaming around in the evening near the camp I stayed at, or the baboons constantly eyeing my breakfast while a cheeky yellow billed hornbill stole my toast. O

10 tips to keep children happy on an African safari

“Are you sure she isn't too young to go to Africa? Can you not wait a few more years?” If you have read my 1st blog post about 'The African bug' , you will know that no, I couldn't wait a few more years and I really wanted to share my passion with my daughter.  So, when she was 3 years old, I decided to take her to South Africa with me to volunteer in a primate rehabilitation centre and camp in the Kruger National Park on safari. My son was only 9 months old, and indeed too young...to volunteer at least! They are 7 and 10 at the time of writing this blog post and they have been to Africa 3 and 6 times respectively, with our next trip coming up to Tanzania. Our safaris are always 'the best holidays EVER', they say. They remember so much more than I imagine they could and surprise me with their behaviour around wild animals (in a good way). From the moment we land back in London, I hear the familiar question that has since started to sound like a brok

9 questions to ask yourself before planning a safari

  Thinking of going on an African safari? Here are 9 questions that you can ask yourself and will help to design your perfect itinerary.   I could come up with more questions, but let’s say that this is a very good start. What destinations can I go to based on Covid-19 vaccination requirements? Some countries like Kenya require a proof of full cover course of vaccination, others currently don’t. When do I want to travel and how long? Dry seasons, rainy seasons, shoulder seasons, annual wildlife events, all come into the balance of where you should go on safari. Do I want to go on Safari only or Safari and beach? An African safari can be tiring especially when it goes over 4 days and it is sometimes a good idea to unwind on white sand beaches afterwards before heading back home. What level of luxury do I want for my lodges? The classic answer to this questions is ‘authentic’, ‘cosy’, ‘no big structure’, ‘small camps’, ‘tented room’, thinking that this will be kinder on the wallet. It is
