Gliding through the Okavango Delta, captivated by the sights, sounds, and smells of the African bush, is an experience she finds unforgettable. Another highlight of her safari adventures was exploring the Timbavati Game Reserve, where the intimate camps offer a very intimate and personalized safari experience.
