The article shares a personal narrative of a return visit to Botswana's Okavango Delta, where the author experiences the region from horseback instead of a traditional safari truck. This shift from a previous trip, where they camped among the wilderness via mokoros, emphasizes the changes in the author's life with motherhood. The partnership between Robyn and David Foot and an old-world safari camp adds depth to the adventure, blending wildlife conservation with personal storytelling that captures the romance and realities of a safari experience.
"This time was different. Now a mother of two, my life and priorities had shifted seismically with motherhood, and the safari truck wasn't stopping at the mokoros but heaving and grunting on, making tracks through soupy puddles for new, low-key camp Cha Cha Metsi."
"When Robyn and David, whose African riding pedigree goes back some 30 years, mentioned they'd partnered with a light-touch, old-world safari camp in the Okavango, my ears pricked as horses do when spotting vultures - a sign of lions with a kill in the thickets below."
