On this episode of The Last Resort, host Christina Jelski talks with Karen Urosevich, founder of Well Placed Travel, about her recent stays at Saseka Tented Camp in South Africa's Greater Kruger and Matetsi Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, where her trip ended with a surprise proposal on the banks of the Zambezi River.

Urosevich explains how her now-fiance secretly worked with their travel partner and Matetsi to plan the big moment, and why those same experts talked him out of proposing during a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls. She also weighs in on Saseka, including her candid take on why three nights of twice-daily game drives is plenty for most clients. And lastly, she shares what the trip taught her about advising safari clients, from when VIP airport greeters aren’t always worth it to why it pays to ask how tall clients are before booking regional flights.

Currently in its fourth season, The Last Resort is a monthly hospitality-focused podcast brought to you by Travel Weekly. In each episode, travel advisors share their first impressions of the last resort they visited.

The 10th episode of the fourth season will be posted the last week of October.
