There’s no better way to see the stunning islands of Bai Tu Long Bay, situated next to Ha Long Bay, than on a cruise on Dragon Legend Cruise.

The Okavango Delta is one of those places that truly lives up to the hype… and then somehow exceeds it. 🦒🇧🇼
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
A lush, water-filled oasis in the middle of the Kalahari, where the seasons quite literally shape the entire experience.
Floodwaters arrive months after the rains fall in Angola, transforming the landscape into a maze of channels, islands, and wildlife-rich plains.
We stayed at @aksanctuary Sanctuary Chief’s Camp on Chief’s Island — known as the predator capital of Botswana. Because it’s one of the only areas of permanent dry land, animals naturally gather here… which means some of the most incredible game viewing you can experience.
What makes this place so special is the contrast. Early mornings tracking predators on game drives, and afternoons drifting through quiet waterways in a mokoro, surrounded by birds, reeds, and the kind of stillness you rarely find anymore.
And the timing completely changes the experience.
✨ Dry season (May–October): peak flood levels + unbelievable wildlife concentrations
🌿 Green season (November–April): lush landscapes, baby animals, fewer crowds
No matter when you go, it’s one of the most unique safari destinations in the world, and one that feels wild, untouched, and unforgettable.

While staying at @aksanctuary Chief’s Camp in Botswana, we had the chance to see the delta from a completely different perspective with @helicopterhorizons — and it was easily one of the most unforgettable experiences of the trip.
From winding channels to herds of elephants moving below, it gives you a true sense of just how vast and wild this place really is… something you simply can’t grasp from the ground.
If you’re coming all the way to the Okavango Delta, this is 100% worth adding on. It’s not just a scenic flight — it’s a whole new way to experience safari.

There are places that feel special… and then there’s the Okavango Delta 🤍
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Our stay at @aksanctuary Chief’s Camp in Botswana was one of those rare travel experiences that truly exceeded every expectation.
And then there’s the Delta itself. One of the most unique ecosystems on the planet, where floodwaters transform the desert into a lush, wildlife-rich oasis—meaning you get some of the most incredible game viewing in Africa.
In just three nights, we experienced:
• Big Five game drives
• A scenic helicopter flight over the Delta (still not over this)
• A mokoro ride quietly gliding through the waterways
• Golden hour moments that didn’t feel real
It’s the kind of place that reminds you why you travel in the first place.
So deeply grateful to have experienced it 🤍

Nairobi might be the only place in the world where you can spot rhinos with a city skyline behind them 🦏🌆
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We visited Nairobi National Park with three kids three and under (!!) and it ended up being one of the easiest, most rewarding safari experiences.
The wildest part? It’s literally just a short drive from the city center—you can go from downtown Nairobi to spotting lions and rhinos in under 30 minutes.
You can self-drive or hire a private guide. Either way, the wildlife viewing is incredible (we saw SO many rhinos).
Add a picnic inside the park, then pair it with a visit to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see rescued baby elephants and rhinos.
If you’re visiting Nairobi, this is an absolute must. Especially with little ones.
