Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines Updated on February 3, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Gee's deep expertise in this region makes her the ideal person to help plan itineraries that include Egypt's archaeological sites or Morocco's enchanting cities. She also knows the most relaxing sun-swept resorts in Mauritius and the Seychelles. Gee has lately spent more time planning "slow travel" journeys, she says, or sabbaticals that allow travelers to spend extended time in Africa. Guests who used to splurge on fancy suites or luxurious resorts are now choosing to invest elsewhere, Gee adds. "The focus has shifted towards the experience—having a personal guide who can take them deeper into a culture or wildlife encounter and connect them with the destination." She also has a handle on wellness trips, with an extensive Rolodex of the top Ayurvedic retreats, health centers, and destinations clinics in not only Africa but also in the Himalayas and across the Indian Ocean basin.

Once we arrived in Cairo, everything was arranged perfectly. Our local guides and drivers were fantastic, and the hotels were incredible, as was the cruise ship (Oberoi Philae). This was a complicated trip with a lot of moving pieces, so this was no small feat! She was responsive and great to deal with in the planning process as well. I would definitely recommend her and Red Savannah for planning future trips." - Deborah C. "A Private Journey to Africa" Sample Itinerary Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
