  • Botswana’s Okavango Delta: one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Join me for an unforgettable bucket list trip to Khwai, on the eastern side of the Okavango Delta.
    The best thing about it? I spend 2 nights at a black-owned luxury safari camp. @africanbushcamps was started by Beks Ndlovu, a former safari guide from Zimbabwe. ABC has over 15 stunning camps and lodges in 3 countries.
    Check out Khwai Leadwood - the camp featured in the video: hubs.la/Q01h4YBP0

    This is absolutely beautiful video about my own country. I am from Botswana and also share a love for safari travel and I am a Wildlife Photographer. Beks Ndlovu, founder of African Bush Camps really outdid himself with this Khwai Leadwood Camp and I was stoked when I first saw its reviews and gallery. After watching this I am more determined to visit it soon. Kudos for giving black owned places a shout. Im a happy to see one of our own making it

    You haven't flown "little" until you've been in a 2-seater. A pilot friend of mine took me up over Puget Sound and we did barrel rolls and flew upside down. It was hella fun!! But I'm not scared of flying. My uncle was a pilot and I was only 3 the first time I flew. I fell in love with it immediately. ❤🛩❤

    One of the most beautiful spots on this planet! Elizabeth Taylor got married to Richard Burton here.😍
    The north of the Botswana is sub-tropical, so winters are mild . It's a lot colder in the south and west, where winter nights and mornings regularly dip below freezing. Generally, the country has a semi-arid desert climate, so you get extremes in temperatures. Very hot summer afternoons can reach 40 degrees Celcius; very cold winter nights can go as low as minus 8 degrees Celcius. 😊
