The pair had an amazing time together and speaking with DailyMail. Linda stated,

"What surprised me (and frightened me a little) was how close we were to the ground, scraping over the treetops.

"When we were in the Masai I think I said that going up in a hot-air balloon would be one piece of expenditure too far. It was a decision I immediately regretted and was something I was determined to put right."

Linda who is also a former political journalist enjoyed a romantic stay in camp at the Beyond The Lodge Bateleur Camp that looked absolutely heavenly.
