Karin Jones is the Founder & CEO of Artisans of Safari, a bespoke safari company dedicated to creating meaningful, conservation-centered journeys across Africa. With nearly four decades of experience designing safaris since 1987, Karin has been recognized on Travel + Leisure’s A-List and Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Travel Specialist list for Africa in 2025. Through her deep relationships with Africa’s leading conservationists, guides, and lodge owners, she connects travelers with transformative experiences that support wildlife protection, empower local communities, and rewild African tourism, using travel as a tool for positive change.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
