Luxury travel doesn’t have to break the bank πŸ’Έβœ¨

Here are 5 ways I enjoy 5-star experiences on a budget:

1️⃣ Can’t afford the $600/night price tag? Book a day trip instead - you’ll still enjoy the pool, spa, and vibes for a fraction of the cost.

2️⃣ Contact the hotel directly - they often have lower rates or seasonal discounts you won’t find online.

3️⃣ Travel during shoulder season - fewer crowds, better weather, and way cheaper luxury stays.

Because you also deserve the soft life! πŸ˜‰πŸ’…πŸ½

I took a spontaneous trip to Uganda - only one hour away from Nairobi and was rewarded with the most relaxing time ever! πŸ‚πŸƒ

6 days was a sweet introduction to the country - I spent my time in Entebbe, Kampala and Jinja - including a stay on a private island in the middle of the Nile!

Definitely looking forward to visiting again!

When I find myself on the balcony of a tall building or in this case, on a private island in the middle of the Nile... it's a constant battle - but so far, I'm winning! πŸŽ‰

Not your regular train ride!

The SGR from Nairobi to Mombasa and vice versa takes you through Tsavo National Park - and you can actually spot animals from your seats!

Imagining taking the train to the beach and getting a FREE safari along the way? It doesn't get better than that! 🐘πŸ₯Ήβœ¨οΈ

This hidden gem in Uganda πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬ sits on a private island surrounded by powerful rapids and breathtaking views. It's one of the most unique stays in Africa 🌍 - a true bucket list experience!

From waking up to sunrise over the Nile, to falling asleep with the sound of rushing water, this lodge was pure magic ✨️

I stayed here for 2 nights and it was wonderful - one of the highlights of my time in Uganda!
