Egypt has been on bucket lists for about 4,000 years, and it has never been a better trip than right now.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is finally open in full, with Tutankhamun's complete collection displayed together for the first time in history. Pair it with sunrise at the pyramids before the crowds arrive, a few nights sailing the Nile on a private dahabiya, and the Valley of the Kings with an expert Egyptologist bringing every painted wall to life.

October through April is prime season on the Nile. Reach out, and I'll get you there.

What do I recommend to clients who have already done the classic safari? A salt pan the size of a small country.

Jack's Camp is set on the edge of Botswana's Makgadikgadi Pans, and it does safari like nowhere else on the continent. The signature experiences here exist almost nowhere else: sitting at sunrise with a habituated colony of meerkats (they'll climb onto your shoulder to use you as a lookout), walking the desert with Zu/'hoasi San guides who read the land like a book, and riding quad bikes far out onto the pans to sleep under a ceiling of stars.

The camp itself is legendary, rebuilt in its original 1940s expedition style with Persian rugs, brass fittings, and a tent that doubles as a working natural history museum. In the wet months, a little-known zebra migration moves through the grasslands.

Consider this the safari that surprises even the seasoned. Let's get you out on the pans.

A client recently asked me what it would take to rent out an entire resort. In Anguilla, less than you'd guess.

ANI Anguilla hosts one group at a time. Two villas on the cliffs above Little Bay, up to 20 guests, and a staff ratio of one to one. Your own chef, daily spa treatments, a sunset cruise, watersports, and kids activities are all built into the rate, so nobody is signing checks all week.

My favorite moment here: waking up, walking down to the water, and starting the day swimming with the sea turtles that live in Little Bay.

Milestone birthdays, reunions, families who have outgrown hotel life. This is where I send them all. Reach out to learn more.
