Whispers of the Delta: An unparalleled @wearewilderness Jao Camp Experience Words by @quintessentially_yvonne When the opportunity arises for you to experience Wilderness; you take it expeditiously! My friend Taku and I had long talked about one day travelling together, whether a part of my many adventures traversing Africa or in celebration of a special occasion. The former took shape in brilliant form, with an invitation for two and my well acknowledging that I could use some much needed “girl time” bonding with one that’s dear to my heart. The call to experience the great Okavango Delta, a jewel of Botswana which shimmers in the heart of Southern Africa had finally come. And so, you can imagine the elation when Taku was able to carve out time from her incredibly busy schedule navigating the echelons of high-profile corporate corridorssomewhere in Zimbabwe’s capital, to join me for what would be a life transforming 7 days through Botswana’s most prolific destination.A Flight for Goddesses.Design that Whispers with the Wild.Sustainable Indulgence: Luxury with a Conscience.Epic Food Safaris at Wilderness Jao.An Unforgettable Safari Paradise Awaits.Reflections from Wilderness Jao.Discover more in our latest issue 27.

Inside the Adults Only Babohi by @newmarkhotels Soaking in the untamed beauty of South Africa’s @qwabiprivategamereserse. Words by @quintessentially_yvonne My journey from Dubai to South Africa on this occasion, was curated with a view to help me garner visibility on how one can infuse both a city staycation in Johannesburg, coined Egoli or City of Gold by the locals, with a safari excursion a short drive away from the metropolis. Two nights at The Catalyst by Newmark, nestled in the bustling heart of Sandton, delivered an epicurean experience in the company of new and old friends, coupled with comfortable relaxation in one of Sandton’s newest beacons of modern luxury. My stay at this boutique apartment-style hotel was a testament to the evolving landscape of hospitality, seamlessly blending sophisticated design, culinary excellence, and a unique appeal to the bleisure traveller. And so as you can imagine, after such a compelling experience in Sandton, I was thrilled to be forging ahead with the next leg of my trip, which would take me to an opulent gem under the Newmark Hotels brand, located in Waterberg’s Qwabi Private Game Reserve.
