After a very long 15 months without any international travel, few things could excite me as much as a trip to Kenya and Tanzania. I knew from the start that East Africa would be our first big COVID-era trip. Firstly, there are few places in the world I’d rather be than on safari and in the time of a pandemic there really isn’t anywhere that feels safer and more socially distanced. We had been successfully sending clients since last year but it didn’t feel right to keep advising without seeing for myself what the reality of travel was in this highly unusual and ever-evolving moment.
