What’s on Travel Jeannie’s Bucket List?

Still not sure where you want to go and need more inspo? These are some of my highlights & bucket lists adventures!

  • Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos, oh my! Enjoy morning and evening game drives as you take in the magic of the animal kingdom around you. Don’t forget the sundowners (happy hour and snacks in the bush). This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, great for all ages!

  • The River Nile, the longest river in the world, was believed by the ancient Egyptians to carry them to the afterlife. Its banks are lined with countless historical and cultural sites, making Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations in the world, an incredible destination to explore this majestic river. Not a cruise person? No worries! There are plenty of other ways to take in the river’s natural beauty.

  • Bond with family and friends as you challenge both body and mind while trekking Mount Kilimanjaro. Experience the lush rainforest, rugged alpine desert, and icy arctic zone on your journey to the summit of Africa's highest peak.

  • Parts of the Indian Ocean off Africa boast some of the most pristine reefs in the world, where vibrant coral and lively schools of fish create a breathtaking underwater experience. Consider diving in Egypt, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Mauritius, and Madagascar. If you're interested in a freshwater dive, I've even explored Lake Malawi!

  • Trek through Uganda or Rwanda to find a family of gorillas and observe them in their natural habitat. Watch the silverbacks protect their troop, mothers nurture and nurse their young, and playful babies interact with one another. The experience is truly incredible, offering a profound reflection on human evolution, and witnessing these majestic families is nothing short of breathtaking.
