✨ Another unforgettable memory from my recent safari adventure... ✨

As soon as we were picked up at the local airport, I couldn’t resist asking our guide, "Will we see many giraffes?" Just moments later, as we turned the corner on the way to the lodge, there it was—our first sighting—a breathtakingly beautiful giraffe standing tall and graceful.

Throughout our days on safari, giraffes became a daily delight—sometimes nibbling leaves alongside their babies, other times simply wandering gracefully, letting us marvel at their majestic presence. 🦒💛

Africa truly has a way of turning dreams into reality. 🌍✨

A typical day on Safari…

5am: A gentle wake-up call from your guide
5:30am: Light breakfast at the lodge
5:45am: Off on your morning game drive, where every sighting is a thrill
9am: Return for a hearty breakfast
Midday: Relax, unwind, and enjoy lunch with stunning views at the lodge
3:30pm: Afternoon tea
3:45pm: Back on the truck for another adventure-filled game drive / at sunset, stop for a Sundowner in the bush—drinks, snacks, and magical views
7pm: Return to the lodge for dinner under the stars

I didn’t expect to love it this much—but every drive holds something new, thrilling, and unforgettable. No two experiences are the same, and that’s the true beauty of a Safari experience.

Safari days are pure magic!

I have a multitude of amazing memories from my recent safari adventure. This is just one of those special moments 🥰 Enjoy the weekend 💕 #luxurytravel #africansafari #lioncubs #sabisands @andbeyondtengile

Looking to explore hidden gems and go off the beaten path? I am a true believer in that you should see the iconic cities and attractions. However, nothing beats finding awe-inspiring, undiscovered places that will leave you speechless! This is Sanremo, Italy. I recently visited and fell in love with the region. Sanremo may be one of Italy's best kept secrets. It is a lovely coastal city located in the Liguria region in the northwest part of the country. From the seaside to pedestrian streets and the medieval hilltop old town, Sanremo has it all. The local market is filled with seafood, fresh produce, fabulous leather goods and many other local products. And, bonus... Sanremo is a short drive from the French Riviera, making this the ideal base to explore both the Italian and French Rivieras. What are some of your favorite off-the-beaten-path destinations?🌍✈️ #OffTheBeatenPath #TravelInspiration #luxurytravel #sanremo #italy #italianriviera #travelplanning #traveladvisor #travelagent

How the hot air balloon experience begins…

Did you know there are over 900 churches in Rome? I am not super religious but these churches are all incredibly beautiful. And to think they were built during a time when they had no technology or machinery to assist with the architecture. It is mind blowing. Take a look at this video where you can see so many domes just in this one section of the city. #distinctvacations #travel #travelexpert #luxurytravel #njtravelagent #travelagent #traveladvisor #privatetours #customtours #vacationplanning #familyvacation #familytravel #travelwithteens #fairfieldnj #chathamnj #madisonnj #summitnj #ridgewoodnj #millburnnj #shorthillsnj #beautifuldestinations #domesofrome #rome #vacationinitaly #churchesinrome
