Before diving into meetings at Indaba, Anouk took a scenic detour through the KZN midlands...

"First stop, the Ardmore Sculpture studio where it's fantastic to see the artists at work in a beautiful part of KZN “midlands” - rolling hills and trees all with Fall colors. Easily combined with a visit to a very informative exhibit at the exact place Nelson Mandela was arrested and imprisoned for the next 26+ years - called the “ Nelson Mandela Capture Site Followed with a lunch at Fable - fantastic food and wine in a gorgeous setting! Thanks to NFT for an awesome day out!"

Saying farewell to the gentle giants of Molori Mashuma is never easy — the elephants of Mana Pools always leave a lasting impression. 🐘💛 But the adventure continued as Vanessa made her way to stunning Fothergill Island, tucked into the wild beauty of Matusadona National Park.

Set on the edge of Lake Kariba, Fothergill is a lakeside haven where safari meets serenity. Days were filled with fishing, bush walks, and game drives, while evenings ended with unforgettable sundowners along the shoreline, watching the sun dip behind the water. ✨🎣🚤
