Maura Postlethwait has spent 15+ years in hospitality and five trips to Botswana learning what it takes to travel well. Based in Washington, D.C., she works as a marketing strategist, writer, and gluten-free concierge, helping people navigate extraordinary experiences safely and deliciously, whether in a D.C. dining room or a remote African camp.

For Maura, safari is more than wildlife. It is the food, the people, the wine, and the conversations that make the experience rich. She believes you never leave Africa without learning something about yourself, and that a sunrise watched in silence and a sundowner shared with new friends are both worth crossing the world for.

Ask her what keeps drawing her back and she will tell you it is the friends who have become family, watching the sun rise and set, learning from the wildlife and realizing we are just a small piece of this beautiful world, the long dinner tables filled with laughter that linger late and make their way to the fire, the excitement of a wild dog chase or a leopard spotting, and the fact that that cheetah is still hiding.
