Month on Instagram

It’s hard to believe… but the 31st of December is upon us. We hope that you’ve got some exciting New Year’s plans for today!

December has been a busy but incredible month for us. We’ve explored some lovely new properties, tried our hands at some new recipes, been on some wonderful safaris and welcomed the talented Gavin Rosenbaum to do an Instagram takeover for us.

Scroll down here for a two-minute taster of our December adventures. #luxury #safari #travel #africa
