I have been on safari or am looking to go on safari

About me

I would say I'm an amalgam of luxury and back-to-basics. My most memorable lodging experience was in a basic tent in the Serengeti. Absolutely thrilling.

My dream is to see a pangolin.

My safari travel style: Luxury—Fly me in to a private, tented camp where I can enjoy the finest foods, wines and linens. I’m after exclusive, intimate camps with refined touches.
