My perfect day is…
In South Africa: an early game drive, big breakfast, visiting with counselors and children, another game drive, drinking “sundowners”, dinner with friends at my lodge, ending with stories around the fire.(Pictured celebrating her birthday in South Africa with the children her foundation helps support.)
