    Hi Kiki, your list of packing essentials was a godsend for our trip to Tanzania (just returned). All of the other lists I browsed put function over fashion, and warned against dresses, jumpsuits, and even white shirts. But you gave me the confidence to break the rules and pack outfits that were cute, comfortable, and practical. I wore a dress nearly every night for dinner and even on a couple of drives. I even copied your ONA camera bag as my utility bag. The only thing I left off the list was a travel vest because I had no room. Thank goodness my husband packed so light, because he was stuck with packing my gorgeous straw fedora that wasn’t crushable. Looked super-cute, but in hindsight I think I would have found something crushable. Thanks so much for all the great advice!

    • Oh my goodness I love it! Sounds like you had a great time (and looked amazing)!

  2. Great post! Your packing list is super helpful and gives a clear idea of what to expect on an African safari. I love the tips on clothing choices and the importance of neutral colors. Can’t wait for my trip!

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!
