Meridian Experience Gifts

Going an African safari is surely near the top of most people’s bucket lists. The vast plains of the Serengeti. Stunning views of snow-capped mountains, sparklingly pure lakes and thick jungle. Early morning game drives or hot-air balloon flights as the sun rises. The chance to see the Big Five.

So, your best pal’s having a birthday! Great news, right? Of course it is and although what you get them can often be something of a bone of contention how you wrap it up can sometimes make all the difference between a good gift and a great gift.

Waking up in a Spanish hostel to find your body covered in bites from an invasion of bed bugs might not seem very likely to imbue a person with a passion for travel. In fact, it would probably put a lot of people off for life. But for me, that morning in Malaga was, although pretty unpleasant for the first half an hour, the start of a life-changing experience.
