Ep 43, Season 1: Don’t Wait for ‘Someday’ To Take That Bucket List Trip — How to Make an African Safari Happen with Special Guest Harsh Patil

     Welcome to Episode 43 of That Greenwich Life! If you’re looking for travel inspo for your next vacation, this episode is for you. Most of you know I’ve been a travel writer for over a decade, and if I had a dollar for every person who has asked me through the years, “What’s the best trip you’ve ever taken?” or “What trip should everyone take at least once in their lifetime?,” I’d have my own private jet big enough to fit each and every one of you.
     This week I’m joined by Harsh Patil, the CEO and founder of Xplorearth, a luxury travel company specializing in bucket-list experiences, to talk more about my answer to both of those questions time and again – African safaris!  Harsh shares his deep knowledge of this experience and why you don’t need to wait until “someday” to go.
     We cover everything you need to know—when to go, how to plan, what to expect, and why safaris are so much more accessible than people think (yes, even for families with kids!). Plus, Harsh shares his insider travel tips and some of the other incredible, off-the-beaten-path adventures he curates around the world.

In This Episode:
•        The best time of year to go on safari (hint: it’s more flexible than you think!).
•        How to plan a family-friendly safari and why it’s an incredible experience for kids.
•        Harsh’s insider travel recommendations
•        Why your travel dollars matter—how luxury safaris contribute to conservation and support local communities.
