The Insect Myth Buster! Mosquitos and mud will ruin your safari in May and June? Let me be honest with you. In April and May, Samburu. Where we will be in Kenya on Safari is dry. Also, the lack of excess water, compared to the coast, means that mosquitoes are surprisingly minimal. In fact, I went on Safari in Samburu, and never even saw one mosquito!

Why Samburu in April feels like a Perfect Cotswolds Summer (with Elephants) I kid you not! Kenya can feel like the best of England in the Green Season. It offers a desert bloom that is so special, seeing landscapes that are usually golden and arid now lush with emerald green. Seeing a desert in bloom is a memorable experience. Yes. You go on safari to see wildlife. But in April and May, you have the best of both worlds. Fabulous landscapes that change with the weather. Dry m

The Safari I Turned Pretty? Or the Summer I Turned Pretty? Yes. My daughter introduced me to The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I immediately read the book. Then fell in love with the series. I related to the show, because I used to be a swimmer and every summer we would go to California for summer. I had my first kiss in Lake Tahoe!

it’s a women-focused adventure designed to inspire, empower, and connect. If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling somewhere that blends breath taking landscapes, rich culture, and meaningful impact, then you’re in the right place. Let me take you on a journey through the best women-only travel experiences Kenya has to offer!

The safari outfits shown here are part of a wider philosophy of ethical and thoughtful travel. Safari style doesn’t need to be excessive or wasteful. A small, well-chosen wardrobe is more sustainable and far more practical. Many women who travel on ethical safaris value:

What to wear on safari for women over 50. Chic, yet comfortable. Simple top from Zara and Cargo skirt made chic with locally sourced African Jewellery Why Safari fashion changes after 50 When I hit 50, I started to care more about comfort. The days that I could just "wing it," were gone. I no longer wanted to sleep on a friend's sofa. Now, I prefer my own room and my own space. I realised that when I hit 50, my priorities changed. I put my own comfort first. This is me on Saf

Well African Jewellery tells a story. Its up to you to find and discover that story, when you start your adventure in Kenya. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the way that tribal women wear jewellery fascinates me. I want to share this experience with you on my solo female adventure in Kenya.

Jewellery plays a significant role in identity worldwide. Whether you wear a wedding ring, a cross, earrings, or nothing at all. Jewellery can make a statement about you. Or help you to feel good about yourself and your culture. In Africa, jewellery can tell stories or express beliefs. This includes the tribe to which you belong, your social standing, and whether you are married or not.

How to plant a tree in Kenya? Let me show you! I have many trees in my garden at home. I don't think I planted one that felt so good as the one I planted in Kenya. It's a strange experience. As with the Maasai, the location and the beautiful scent of Africa, planting this tree was very symbolic of new beginnings for me.

During our ethical tour of Kenya, we visited a local primary school to understand the initiatives our charity partner, CWC Kenya, is supporting. Find out more on the CWC website here - https://community-wildlife.org/community-and-wildlife-conservation/

Many people ask me what philanthropy really mean. I respond with the word humanitarian. Visiting the Olmalaika Trust is the most humanitarian visit that you can enjoy during our ethical safari. I arrived as a stranger and left as part of the cause. The Good

Is Kenya Safe for Women Travelling on Safari? My first solo trip to Kenya was at 50. It was to celebrate my birthday. I treated myself to business class seats and went gung-ho and all out. The trip was good. I have to say good as there were a few things that did go wrong.

What a women-only safari really means, and what it doesn't A women-only safari is not about exclusion. It's about experience. A unique experience that is designed for comfort, safety, and shared values. I understand these values, as for the past 16 years, I have managed a women-only group of metaplastic breast cancer patients. This is a rare cancer, and through our group, we ladies have bonded and share a set of common experiences and values.

Because we will have a honey tasking night on our Safari. Organised with the CWC where they have added Beehives in the outskirts of the camp to create a unique honey experience!

CWC runs bursary programs supporting primary and secondary students, including the Nuru Mwangaza bursary and top student secondary sponsorships, enabling access to schooling and reducing financial barriers.
