NEW PODCAST EPISODE | Step into the evolving world

NEW PODCAST EPISODE | Step into the evolving world of Vergenoegd Löw as I return to this remarkable wine estate to uncover its newest culinary and sensory experiences. From the beautifully reimagined winter menu at Geuwels Restaurant to an indigenous non-alcoholic tasting experience that celebrates South Africa’s botanical heritage, this episode is a journey through flavour, storytelling and thoughtful hospitality.

Step into one of Africa’s most fascinating and unexpected wildlife experiences at @victoriafallssafarilodge.

In this episode of the SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY podcast, I sit down with the custodian behind the iconic Vulture Culture experience at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge - a conservation-led initiative that has become one of Zimbabwe’s most unique attractions.

Often misunderstood, vultures play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance. From up close, at the renowned 'vulture restaurant,' we explore how these incredible birds are protected, why their survival matters, and how tourism can support meaningful conservation.

In this episode:

The story behind the Vulture Culture experience
Why vultures are essential to Africa’s ecosystems
How conservation and tourism intersect
What it’s really like to witness a vulture feeding up close

Motherhood is special. What a privilege to have be

Motherhood is special. What a privilege to have been given the opportunity to teach two little humans the importance of kindness and compassion in a world where things move so fast.

On the SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY blog, I recently shared a post about raising gentle humans and how important the soft skills of noticing are. I also share some tips on how we as parents (and mothers) can teach our children these valuable life skills, encouraging them to be kind in a world that's often not.
