Elizabeth Gordon
Kenya-born Gordon is all about conservation-minded trips. She often recommends smaller camps that offer a close-to-nature experience, such as the family-run lodges of Bush & Beyond, in Kenya, or the African Bush Camps in Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
While tourism to Africa is still recovering from the depths of the pandemic, Gordon says, the good news is that the on-the-ground safari experience is largely unchanged because social distancing is built right in. That's encouraging people to return—and to make their trips even more impactful. "People really want to contribute to wildlife conservation," Gordon explains. "They're less hesitant to spend more to make their trip exceptional—and that's a trend I hope will stick after the pandemic because those sorts of trips are more life-changing and meaningful."

Testimonial
"Elizabeth Gordon planned our family trip to Africa in the summer of 2021. She presented wonderful options for our safari and was super responsive to our needs and group interests. She is a thoughtful, experienced professional; I would travel with her guidance any day! Elizabeth and her team delivered a very detailed and professional job from start to finish. We all absolutely loved our trip and the different places we went. I look forward to traveling with her guidance again and have recommended her to all of my friends interested in traveling abroad." - Lisa B.
