Work Smarter, Safari Harder: My Secret for a Frictionless African Journey

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Dear Reader ~

East Africa is one of the few places where you can combine a classic savanna safari with a deep-forest gorilla trek—without the logistical headache.

Africa is a vast continent, but in this specific region—Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda—you can experience incredible diversity within a relatively close geographic range.

By focusing on this strategic regional connection, you spend less time in transit and more time actually immersed in the wild.

I put together a short video from my last scouting trip to show you what that kind of journey really looks like—from the golden plains of Kenya to the gorillas in Uganda, and even river rafting on the Nile at the end.

If Africa has been on your list, East Africa is one of the most rewarding ways to explore it.

And when you're ready to plan your journey, that’s where I come in.

The beautiful port on Catalina Island

October 22, 2026 Dear Reader ~ One of our favorite ways to end the day is sitting on the patio at sunset, watching the cruise ships sail out of San Diego Harbor. We have a wonderful view of the port, and there's always something interesting coming or going. Recently, we watched Virgin Voyages' Brilliant Lady in the harbor. With Royal Caribbean arriving and Disney expanding its sailings, it got me thinking about just how much is happening on our waterfront. So I took a closer look at what's...

Acropolis in Greece

September 8, 2026 Dear Reader ~ I have spent an unreasonable amount of time changing time zones lately. And—I have some updated opinions about jet lag. One of the biggest is this: the first day deserves more thought than most people give it. Save the best experience for Day Two. After an overnight flight, that private guide, special lunch or all-day excursion is far more enjoyable after a good night’s sleep. Keep arrival day flexible. I like to explore the neighborhood at a relaxed pace, have...

Madrid Retiro Park in the Fall

August 21, 2026 Dear Reader ~ I recently returned from three weeks in Europe, where temperatures flirted with 100°F more than once. One of the highest heatwaves on record. From there, I headed to Las Vegas for Virtuoso Travel Week. It was 115°F. Vegas in August has never pretended to be sensible. I'll share more about my new Virtuoso finds soon. One of the biggest travel trends being discussed didn't surprise me at all: Fall is having a moment. A very big one. September and October have...
