What started as an anniversary getaway turned into an unforgettable family journey through southern Africa—from the beaches of Mozambique to safaris in Zambia, with meaningful moments and luxury at every turn.

My grandpa’s first trip to the Florida Keys was in the 1940s, just after they built the Overseas Highway connecting the major islands. He grew up snorkeling and scuba diving the pristine reefs that covered every underwater corner surrounding the islands. Over the years, he took his family on weeks long summer trips to enjoy these natural habitats, and a love for the reefs was passed down to my mom and then to me.
