Exceptional Safari Experience

One thing I would recommend is a balloon safari. These are truly awesome. It's an amazing way to see the area from a different vantage point. You lift off as the sun rises, view the game for about an hour, then touch back down for breakfast or brunch in the bush. It's a beautifully serene way to see the animals.

Do you have any tips for photography and wildlife viewing?

I'm a photographer myself, so I always recommend photographers use vehicles that are kitted out with built-in tripods, bean bags and swivel chairs. Having a good long lens is also important - and you can hire these from some of the lodges - because you cannot go off-road to get a better photo with your photo lens.

Wildlife viewing is best in the mornings and early evenings. Mornings are more action-packed with kills and hunts. It can be upsetting for some, so it's not for everybody.

What does the future of safari travel look like?

Personally, I want to make Africa feel like it's yours. Whether it's a private jet safari or a culinary walking tour of Cape Town's Cape Malay cuisine with a local, we craft journeys that resonate long after the dust settles.
