There is no single best safari. There's only the one that fits how you travel.

The Big Five are still the reference point most people use, but safaris have come a long way. Conservation reserves, astro-safaris, gorilla trekking, water-based exploring, and destinations outside Africa entirely. The options are broader than most people realize, and the right one looks different for every traveler.

The destination, the camp, the timing, the style of guiding: every one of those decisions shapes how the trip actually feels, and none of them has a single right answer.

Not sure where to start? That's the most common place to begin this conversation. Reach out, and let's figure out your version of it.

Booking a trip soon? Save this checklist. These are the details I review on every trip I plan:

Passport validity. Many countries require six months of validity beyond your return date. Check before anything else.

Entry requirements. Visa rules shift frequently and vary significantly by destination. What applied last year may not apply now.

Travel insurance. Not all policies are equal. Coverage for trip interruption, medical evacuation, and pre-existing conditions all matter, and the differences between policies are usually invisible until something goes wrong.

Flight routing. The lowest fare and the best routing are rarely the same thing. Long layovers, tight connections, and overnight arrivals into complex destinations all have consequences for how a trip begins.

Room category. Categories within the same property can vary significantly in view, size, and experience. Getting the right room for the right stay is something that gets overlooked more than it should.

Timing within the destination. Most places have a week or two that is categorically busier than the dates around them. Knowing where those fall changes both availability and price.

A good travel advisor works through all of this before you ever see a final itinerary. Get in touch if you'd like help planning your next trip correctly.

Switzerland goes well beyond the postcard.

The mountain views get the attention, but it's the experience that stays with people: lunch on a terrace while trains move through the Alps below, swimming in lakes surrounded by peaks in summer, riding panoramic rail journeys, then returning in winter for ski days and villages that feel completely transformed under fresh snow.

The best destinations in travel right now are the ones that used to be someone's backup plan.

Think of them as the B-sides of travel: the places that aren't at the top of anyone's must-visit list but that leave travelers wondering why they didn't go sooner. Fewer crowds, more locals, better availability, and a sense of what travel used to feel like before everyone started going to the same places at the same time.

A few I'm recommending right now:

Milos over Mykonos. Same stunning coastline, a fraction of the crowd, and boat-access-only beaches, unlike anything else in the Greek islands.

The Faroe Islands over Iceland. Dramatically remote, dramatically beautiful, and far less visited. The sea cliffs and puffin colonies are the point.

Bacalar over Tulum. Turquoise lagoon water in seven distinct shades, a fraction of the development, and none of the crowds.

Koh Kood over Phuket. Dense jungle, white sand beaches, and a pace that Phuket hasn't been able to offer for years.

Franschhoek over Cape Town. World-class wine estates, long lunches, mountain scenery, and a small town that punches well above its weight.

Wondering where you can spend two weeks in Italy and never once feel like you're sharing it with everyone else? (Hint: You just have to go south.)

Vista Ostuni is a masseria property in the Valle d'Itria, perfectly positioned to experience everything Puglia has to offer. Ostuni's whitewashed hilltop streets are minutes away, the trulli of Alberobello are within easy reach, the sea caves at Polignano a Mare are worth the drive, and the coastline here is some of the most beautiful in Italy.

The property also delivers on what Puglia does best: local produce and some of the finest olive oil in Italy. And somehow, despite the growing word of mouth, it hasn't tipped into the kind of overtourism that has changed the experience elsewhere in Italy.

Honeymoon? Anniversary? Just need an excuse to disappear with your favorite person? I know exactly where to send you.

The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands is in the North Malé Atoll, about 45 minutes by speedboat from the airport, and what's been built here is unlike anything else in the Maldives. A marina village with independent restaurants, a curated arts program, and water villas positioned directly above some of the best reef access in the Indian Ocean.

A few things that set it apart: house reef snorkeling from the villa steps, dive sites covering some of the most biodiverse marine environments in the Indian Ocean, and enough space and privacy to feel like the island is entirely yours.

This is the trip you'll be talking about for years. Reach out to start planning.

If Bhutan is somewhere you've been curious about, here's the first thing worth knowing before you book: there's a daily fee just to enter the country. It's also one of the best things about going.

A daily Sustainable Development Fee applies to every visitor and covers a licensed guide, accommodation, and most in-country costs. The result is a destination where the most remarkable sites are never crowded and the guides are among the most well-informed I've worked with anywhere.

What clients actually find when they go: a country where the relationship between development and preservation is taken seriously at a policy level, not just in marketing. Tiger's Nest Monastery. The Punakha Dzong. The Phobjikha Valley and the black-necked cranes that winter there. A food culture built around hyper-local produce that earns the farm-to-table description without trying to.

The lodges at the highest end are among the most considered hospitality experiences in Asia.

If Bhutan has been on your mind, reach out.

Explora Journeys is not your average cruise. Not even close.

Smaller ships. More time in port. No assigned dining times. An onboard experience that feels like a boutique hotel that happens to be moving. And itineraries that reach places the larger ships simply can't.

The Monaco Grand Prix itinerary is one of the most requested experiences I book: race weekend access, the right vantage point, and a ship positioned in the harbor where the view is part of the event.

If cruising has never quite been your thing, this is worth a second look. Get in touch.

The pyramids of Giza are visible from the pool. Let that sink in for a second.

Built as a hunting lodge in 1869, Marriott Mena House has expanded and transformed over the following decades, and is now one of the most historically rich hotel experiences in the world. Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, and heads of state have all been guests.

The position at the foot of the Giza Plateau means early morning access to the site before the crowds arrive. A private sunrise at the Great Pyramid is one of the more reliable ways to shift how someone thinks about travel entirely.

Ready to experience Spain beyond Madrid and Barcelona? This is the property I keep circling back to.

Abadia Retuerta LeDomaine is in the Duero Valley of Castilla y León, about two hours from Madrid, and one of those regions that hasn't made it onto most Spain itineraries yet.

The estate covers nearly 1,800 acres; the vineyards produce some of the most decorated wines in the country; and the property's restaurant, Refectorio, has held a Michelin star for years.

What makes a stay here different: guests have access to the full estate. Vineyard walks, wine tastings with the winemaking team, and cellar visits that go well beyond what most hotel wine programs offer. The spa is built into the original 12th-century abbey structures, and the courtyard pool, flanked by stone walls and formal gardens, is among the best hotel pools in Spain.
