Getting this close to a rhino 🦏 while OUT of the game truck was an experience I will NEVER forget!! Watch the video for the full rundown of what transpired! 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 . Of course I learned after the fact that rhinos do not charge humans and work their way downhill as they eat leaves and branches - wish I had known that BEFORE I dove under that tree! 🙈🌳 . To learn more about rhinos go to the expert source at @world_wildlife 🐼 . #masaimara #teamroyaltravel #kenya #micatosafaris #rhinos #travel #safari #africa #animals #masai #cheers #tgif #friyay #fun #adventure #explore #views #memes #funny #views #holiday

Only 13 countries in the world touch the equator line and Kenya is one of them! You get the unique opportunity to experience both hemispheres in one resort at Mount Kenya Safari Club, which sits right on the equatorial line. . Founded by American silver screen star Bill Holden (That’s his 100 year old pet turtle in the photos!) and host to legends like Bing Crosby and Winston Churchill, there is a rich and intoxicating past at this resort. Fortunately there’s plenty to do here in the present too such as mountain biking safaris (on mine I had to switch directions quickly when a herd of buffalo spotted us! 😱🚴🏻‍♀️💨🐃) . There’s also an on property animal orphanage dedicated to endangered species such as the local Bongo (only place in the world you will find them is in this area!) Did you ever wonder why people called them Bongo drums? 🥁 It’s because these beautiful and shy creatures were killed for their hides to make them. Sadly now there are very few bongos left and conservationist at this property are working hard to expand the bongo population and protect them from poachers. . #travel #kenya #safari #micatosafaris #fairmont #mountkenya #asventure #teamroyaltravel #africa #adventure #explore #animal #conservancy #views #onsafari #viewsonviews #happy #live #luxury #micato #STN

You cannot truly experience the Masai Mara without spending time with the incredible Masai people. A life rich in tradition they have coexisted with the wild animals for centuries. Did you know they wear red tartan plaid after Scottish missionaries introduced it to them hundreds of years ago? 🇰🇪 . #teamroyaltravel #masaimara #kenya #travel #africa #masai #safari #fairmontmoments #micatosafari #fairmontsafari #exploreaccor

With the essence of Greece and the elegance of Lake Como Udaipur was one of my favorite stops in India‼️ Our touring was jampacked but on my last day I snuck in a couple hours at the Palace pool.👙A perfect opportunity to rest and reflect on our epic adventures. 🙏🏻 Oh and the boat behind me is actually the hotel’s floating private spa suite! Namaste! 💆🏼‍♀️ . #incredibleindia #teamroyaltravel #india #taj #lakepalace #tajlakepalace #views #luxurytravel #tltab #travelandleisure #hotels #luxury #luxuryhotels #udaipur #travel #passionpassport #adventure #explore #live #namaste

There are many things I love about India and one is definitely the clothes.👗My checked bag never made it (that’s another story!) so I had to buy things to wear there and very little “western clothing” is available. My favorite purchase was this Indian dress that I wore to meet His Highness Maharana Arvind Singh Mewar of Udaipur and two of his children - they are the oldest Royal Family in India and incredibly lovely people. 👑 Of course this first photo was taken in my stunning Peacock suite at the @tajlakepalace complete with Antique swing and incredible lake views!! 🦚 No doubt I was treated and felt like true royalty during my stay in fabulous Udaipur. 👸🏼 . #royalgoesroyal #incredibleindia #udaipur #india #travel #luxury #hotels #tltab #travelandleisure #royalty #makememories #tajhotels #passionpassport #fashion #clothes

WARNING ⚠️ This video was not staged and therefore abnormal content for Instagram. 😉 Unknown to me, my industry colleague @mark_lakin was filming this insane shower of roses welcoming us to @theoberoiudaivilas while at the same time I, completely enraptured by this incredible welcome and the pure magic and beauty of being in India, felt the sudden urge to give in to those feelings and twirl. 🥀💃🏼 That’s exactly what travel should do for each of us - move us deeply, catch us off guard, and sweep us up in a moment when all we want to do is dance. 🙏🏻🌹🥀💃🏼🤸‍♀️🥰❤️ . #dance #happy #india #travel #incredibleindia #oberoi #makememories #authentic #travelandleisure #teamroyaltravel #photography #passionpassport #tlpicks #love #twirl #rapture #live #flowers #tltab #beauty #smile #rapture #namaste
