I’m fascinated by Africa: which African country gave you your most memorable trip, and why?

Rwanda. I love that country and have visited numerous times. Its capital Kigali is a clean, vibrant, modern city leading the way in Africa with excellent infrastructure, technology and hospitality offerings. I was invited to name a baby gorilla at the annual Kwita Izina festival and spent a few days after exploring the national parks with gorillas themselves. Some of the top hotel operators like Singita and One & Only have stunning properties there and the combination of wildlife and conservation-driven tourism is something I’ll never forget.
Island adventure
Amongst the Pacific islands, not counting Hawaii, which one do you think one should visit first?

French Polynesia! I love that place! It’s one of the most beautiful destinations in the world with an amazing tourism offering, warm welcoming people and fantastic weather year round.
