Throughout my childhood I religiously watched David Attenborough programmes; seeing the vast array of landscapes and fascinating wildlife made me excited about the world of travel. My travel experience thus far has truly been incredible; from hiking up and sledging back down the snow-capped Villarica Volcano in Chile to assisting with Elephant and lion operations in Africa. I am passionate about positive impact travel and believe that off the beaten track is the best way to really connect with an area and its culture.

A safari in Africa – for me, nothing beats the thrill of heading out into the African Bush and not knowing what amazing sightings will be around each corner.

Having been lucky enough to experience a vast array of awe-inspiring wildlife sightings across Africa, my most memorable has to be from a recent visit to Laikipia, Kenya.After having what can only be described as an ‘African massage’ from the extremely bumpy roads on my journey, I finally arrived at the ‘Out of Africa’ style tented camp nestled on the edge of a ridge overlooking the vast savannah and meandering river below; offering spectacular panoramic views across Laikipia.The final day was off to a rewarding start. We climbed to the top of a rocky kopje with our binoculars in hand and amazingly spotted a pride of lions we had previously heard hunting in the early hours. We proceeded to weave through the thick bush and admired the family feasting on the remains of an unfortunate Zebra.The evening drew in and we enjoyed a bush dinner set beneath a towering fever tree; all huddled around a roaring fire – a real ‘wild at heart’ experience.Just as we were packing up, I heard the distant call of a leopard, this sent my adrenaline pumping… could it be?I had heard previous rumours of the elusive black (melanistic) leopard – the rarest big cat in Africa – being regularly seen in the area, but I never in a million years imagined that I would have the privilege of actually seeing one.Words cannot describe the excitement I felt when I saw the mysterious shadow of the black Leopard – the queen of the night – gracefully emerge from the bush.I was fortunate enough to spend hours observing her and watching her hunt Dik Dik alongside her mother. An experience that is firmly engraved in my memory!
