Our exciting adventures in South Africa

We had the most wonderful trip to South Africa. Initially I stayed with an old school friend who lives in White River. We then went on a very exciting safari at the Idubi game lodge. The itinerary was organised by Diana Granoux of Leopard.voyage. If you are planning to visit South Africa I would highly recommend Diana, she organised our trip superbly.

The tunic dress I am wearing was from Zara, Black leggings from Uniqlo. I found leggings very useful as on safari the morning and evening drives were cold. White lace layering top from MeandEm. Trainers from New Balance. Hat from St.Tropez Market.

We were so excited to find a Leopard. They are becoming very rare. This is a fairly old female leopard, named Ravenscroft by the rangers.

A male lion. One of the big five animals that we were so lucky to see.

The stately giraffe.

We were lucky to see quite a few elephants during the four days that we stayed at the lodge.

I will be posting one more blog post on our Adventures in South Africa next week.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
