Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on January 31, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Courtesy of Respective Travel Advisor With nearly three decades of experience, Briggs has the knowledge and clout to arrange dream journeys across the continent, whether that’s a trip to new lodges like KuKaya and Lolebezi, both in Zambia, or a classic gorilla trekking itinerary in Rwanda, or the less-trafficked routes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Giving back is a focus for Briggs, and she often helps clients connect with established nonprofits during their travels. Briggs often advises her clients that spending more on a safari is less about the en-suite amenities and more about access to the absolute best natural areas and wildlife viewing—and routinely sends travelers to places with both. “The Nxamaseri Island Lodge has had a recent rebuild and refurbishment and is located in the best fly-fishing area of Botswana,” she advises. “And Usangu Expeditions Camp, in Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park, is a new, authentic, and adventurous camp built for those who love walking.” ADDITIONAL SPECIALTIES: Destination Celebrations, Family Travel, and Fly Fishing in places like Botswana, Rwanda, and Tanzania Languages Spoken: English, French, and Spanish Average Daily Spend: $1,850 per person, including transfers Trip Planning Fees: None Contact Info info@exploreinc.com | 970-871-0065 | Steamboat Springs, Colo. www.exploreinc.com facebook.com/exploreinc instagram.com/explore_inc Testimonial "Cherri Briggs is always my 'go to' for Africa.
