A former Channel Nine reporter has turned in her lucrative TV career for the safari life, as she opens up a retreat in East Africa.
Carrie Greenbank was the European correspondent for Network Nine for almost four years before she departed the broadcaster earlier this year amid mass redundancies.
She has now announced on Instagram that she is a ‘photo safari host’ in Kenya with her partner Dr John Haskew at their Mlima Cottage.
Carrie’s other half, who is a wildlife photographer and documentary filmmaker, built the property at the edge of the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Sharing a selfie of the loved-up pair posing in Africa, Carrie wrote: ‘Hi from the Maasai Mara.
‘We look forward to hosting visitors at our private residence, Mlima Cottage.’
Photographers and wildlife lovers alike can hire out one of the three large ensuite bedrooms in Mlima Cottage for USD$250 (AUD$384.80) per night, per person.
Or they can hire exclusive use of the entire home for USD$1400 (AUD$2154.89) per night.

The Mlima website states Carrie and her partner have ‘partnered with local Maasai safari guides who are highly knowledgeable and sought after in the Mara’.
These guides can take photographers for day-long safari rides on and off the beaten path ‘allowing for plenty of flexibility in getting those precious photos of wildlife’.
Carrie, who spent 16 years in TV news, left Nine Network in June this year after becoming their European correspondent in 2021, reported TV Tonight.

The twin sister of ABC investigative reporter Amy Greenbank, Carrie began her career with WIN News in Queensland.
She went on to join Nine’s Gold Coast, Brisbane and Melbourne newsrooms in the following years.
In 2021, Carrie landed a role in Nine’s London Bureau where she covered the deaths of the Queen, Prince Phillip, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the Israel-Hamas war.
Carrie’s incredible work in the industry won her a Melbourne Press Club Quill and a Walkley nomination.
