NATURE & NURTURE
People often ask me what my favorite country is, and South Africa ranks near the top of the list. A safari in a private reserve near Kruger National Park never fails to astonish — every visit is different and exciting. The Phinda Private Game Reserve, a short flight to the south, was a delightful surprise, and Cape Town was (unsurprisingly) a great pleasure. Closer to home, we paid incognito visits to three contrasting luxury resorts in and around Santa Barbara, where we ate and drank exceedingly well.
