Q: What is "luxury" to you? How do you define it in your sector of business?

"Luxury, to me means something out of the ordinary, beyond the expected, with acute attention to the finest details, providing the most unforgettable and unbeatable memories.  It's not necessarily about financial wealth, it's about creating that exceptional once-in-a-life-time experiences that are tailored for you as an individual to enjoy - whether that's dining on caviar & champagne in the privacy of your beach villa, or drinking a local craft beer whilst watching a herd of elephants march across the African savannah. Everyone's idea of perfection is different and we go that extra mile to ensure we create a luxury experience that is perfect for you."
