Active Luxury and Jeep Fatigue Explained What is Jeep Fatigue on Safari? If you have been on a safari before, then I don't need to explain. Otherwise, it's the moment on day four when your ears are tired of the diesel engine, and you realise you have spent a few days behind glass windows. Jeep fatigue is the physical and mental drain of being a passive observer. When you watch and don't move. Yes, you take pictures of the action - but the action is not you!

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!

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.

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.

My Reteti Elephant Sanctuary Visit First of all I love this picture above. I know you don't see the elephant. But you can see the size of the milk bottle and the young elephant with its mouth wide open. When you experience this live, you can't help but fall in love.

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.

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.

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!
