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!

What are the best walking boots for the Green Season in Kenya? The best walking boots for the Green or Mixed Season in Kenya are not princess leather style boots. They will get ruined. Or riding boots, they are too clunky. Here is a picture of my boots that I wore on my last Safari.

Here are my best moments at the Soroi Larsens Camp in Samburu. I wrote a review of the Soroi Larsens accommodation. But I want to tell you about my memories and what has stuck with me. I feel like when you are on safari, everything is mesmerizing. But only, when you come back do you reflect on what was important and what you find talking about the most.

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

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. 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/

Reteti was founded due to local needs. The local people were finding orphaned or abandoned elephants. Orphaned, if the parents have been killed. Or, abandoned due to human intervention. In these remote areas, farmers make water holes or wells, which are a hazard to animals when they fall in and cannot climb back out. This is when elephants have to move on and leave baby calves behind.

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!
