One of my most incredible experiences, was riding in South East Botswana. We got so close to the game, in particular herds of elephants complete with tiny calves, and still felt safe. The horses are beautifully trained, albeit quite feisty, and they can sense whenever a predator is near. Even if you can't see the leopard or the lion, you can feel through your horse that they are close. It’s an extraordinary adventure and one that I would recommend to any horse lover.

Having lived and worked in both Kenya and Zambia, I have so many Africa memories to choose from it is quite hard to pick just one. From witnessing a leopard kill a porcupine and amazingly come out unscathed, to driving a Land Rover full of local Masai Moran to a surprise bush dinner while they practice their song. There’s something about the rich culture of East and Southern Africa, combined with the beauty and unpredictability of its wildlife that keeps me fascinated with this unique continent.

There are so many places in the world I want to visit but I am drawn back to Africa time and time again. It could be the huge skies, the colour of the sunset, the peace when you are the only one for miles around, the incredible wildlife. Or is it the smell of the African bush, the smiles of the people, the music? There is a sense that it has all been there for millions of years which makes me feel very small but lucky to be part of it!

Having spent my formative years growing up on one of Kenya's best known conservation projects, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, I have seen the decline of Kenya's wildlife and how, thanks to conservation, it is flourishing once again. An old African saying I have heard countless times is 'The prosperity of the trees is the well being of the birds,' so I am truly proud to have been part of such a project. I have had so many experiences growing up in Africa, but to watch the elephants congregate around my home a week before there is any sign of rain, to then march off to Samburu land to warmer, sandy soil when the rains come is a truly special experience.
