Caroline Hickman, owner and designer for safari clothing brand Hickman and Bousfield, tells us what she never leaves home without.
This Christmas, we’re steering away from garish red and gold palettes and gaudy smiling Santas (don’t get us wrong, these are fun too) and trying something a little different in the bush.

This is probably the first thing most people think about when they hear the name Karen Blixen. But there was so much more to one of Kenya’s most famous authors than ‘Out of Africa.’
We’ve joined forces with Timbuktu to bring you a safari with a twist: an epic exploration into Botswana and Zambia, visiting outstanding wilderness operations that are striving to make a difference to our planet.
Explore these discerning destinations and play a part in preserving Africa’s precious environmental capital.
Next on our list of wonderful safari spaces to swoon over is Chinzombo Camp in the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. Set on the banks of the Luangwa River, Chinzombo’s villas epitomise style, luxury and exclusivity.
