Michaela shows us where to meet local designers, enjoy a cold beer, and of course where to see the Big 5 animals with the kids. And what’s Africa without experiencing the natural landscapes, wildlife, and of course, it’s warm-hearted people? From the endangered white rhino to the mighty Victoria Falls and foraging with a chef for her supper, Michaela has insider access to the best locals to bring any range of adventures to life for travelers.
