Broadcaster and entrepreneur Anele Mdoda flew to Zambia for a short trip with loved ones in the New Year.
“So for the past few days I've been picturing in my head all the big things that will happen in 2025: graduations, weddings, anniversaries, my son turning 10, my father turning 70. Falls is the perfect destination for little people and little people's big moments in life,'' Mdoda wrote.
“What a special place with even more special people. The food, the beauty, the history, the majestic nature, everything! Tadaaaa after tadaaaa. What a happy time, what a happy place. !”
In another post, Mdoda said she was “just a girl on a sunset cruise through Zambia on the African Queen.” Amazingly, one amazing thing after another! This place is magical. I can't believe how happy we are. ”
Neo Nontso, a chef and cookbook author, also joined Mdoda on the trip. She also posted a shot of herself visiting Victoria Falls.

Rachel from Botswana
Rachel Kolisi took her children on a solo trip to neighboring Botswana in the New Year.
“It was my first vacation/new year without the kids,” Rachel wrote on Instagram.
Rachel embarks on her first solo trip despite being nervous.
“So instead of staying home and grieving alone, I went on a dream trip to Botswana.
“It was my first solo trip and I'm an introvert, so I arrived very nervous and sad,” Rachel said.
Although nervous, Rachel said she left the southern African country feeling fulfilled. “[I] I came back with a very fulfilled heart and lots of wonderful new friends from all over the world. ”
“I love this about you! It really makes me happy to see women prioritize their own happiness (under any circumstances),” Yulenda wrote.
“Especially as a lawyer who has seen what happens to women who devote their lives to their families, ignoring their own personal needs and well-being.
“The truth is, your family will benefit when you shamelessly take good care of yourself. They will be happy mothers, wives, and any other role you choose. Sho.”
