FORMER OLYMPIC SKIER CHEMMY ALCOTT CELEBRATES TEN YEARS OF MARRIAGE WITH A FAMILY ADVENTURE IN TANZANIA

The Ski Sunday presenter was celebrating her tenth wedding anniversary in Africa with her husband Dougie Crawford and their sons Locki, seven, and Cooper, five, when together they watched a magical sunset over the Serengeti.

"It was incredible to watch the magic through their eyes and to see how enchanted they were," she tells HELLO!, exclusively sharing photos from the family holiday with us.

Chemmy, 41, and fellow professional skier Dougie, 37, tied the knot on 6 June 2014 in a fairytale ceremony at West London's Syon House, followed by a honeymoon safari in Tanzania.

It marked the beginning of their "adult life" - made all the more poignant by the fact the pair had just retired from competitive racing.

"This trip reminded Dougie and me of our new beginning we had ten years ago," says Chemmy.

"It felt like the boys' first proper adventure. I know they will remember it forever." The family stayed at Nimali Tarangire and Nimali Mara, sleeping in beautiful safari lodges, with the glass-fronted tented suites offering stunning panoramas of grassy savannahs.

Excursions into the wild brought thrilling sightings of lions, giraffes,baby elephants and hyenas. "We also saw a rhino, which sparked a conversation with the boys about extinction and how important it is to protect the world around us," Chemmy says.

"The one thing we didn't see was a leopard, so we'll have to come back."
