🏝️Check out these gorgeous family photos from my clients enjoying the best of island life for half term in Zanzibar🏝️

I visited myself a few years ago and loved the laid back vibe and gorgeous beaches. Zanzibar is perfect as a stand-alone Indian Ocean escape or an ideal way to slow the pace after the thrill of a Tanzanian safari. It offers powder-soft white sands, swaying palms and warm turquoise waters, with characterful boutique hotels and a wide range of luxury resorts lining the shore. Days drift by between snorkelling or diving on vibrant reefs, sunset dhow cruises and discovering Stone Town’s spice-scented alleys and rich Swahili heritage.

Whether you want barefoot relaxation or a stylish finale to their wildlife adventure, Zanzibar delivers that dreamy “castaway chic” finish to any East Africa itinerary.

🏃‍♀️Who’s been watching Celebrity Race Across the World? 🌎

Well this week I’ve had the pleasure of attending two fantastic events, diving deep into both Malaysia and Indonesia, both of which just happen to be starring in this week’s programme.

🇲🇾For Malaysia, I met with the tourist board, brilliant local ground handlers and some incredible hotels to really get under the skin of this diverse country. From the buzz of Kuala Lumpur and its iconic Petronas Towers, to the UNESCO charms of George Town in Penang, the lush tea plantations of the Cameron Highlands and the pristine beaches of Langkawi, there is so much more to Malaysia than many people realise.
I also explored Malaysian Borneo, Sabah and Sarawak, sanctuaries in Sepilok and Sandikan. Plus wildlife-rich jungles home to pygmy elephants, rare sun bears, proboscis monkeys and of course orangutangs. Then there’s the stunning islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park and the majestic Mount Kinabalu for those who love a bit of adventure🏝️🌋🦧

🇮🇩Indonesia was just as inspiring and so much more than just Bali. I spoke with destination experts and hoteliers about the different islands, each with its own character. The beach resorts, temples and rice terraces of Bali, the pink beaches and komodo dragons of Komodo National Park, the crystal-clear waters around the Gili Islands and the volcanic landscapes of Java. The hospitality of the local partners really shone through. 🌋🦎🏝️

I came away with many new contacts and lots of fresh ideas to help you experience these destinations in a really personal, authentic way, whether you are dreaming of island-hopping, wildlife encounters, cultural adventures or simply a luxurious beach escape.

If this week’s Celebrity Race Across the World has sparked your wanderlust for Malaysia or Indonesia, I would love to start planning a trip that is tailored just for you. Message me to begin your adventure.
