I met Waridi on a flying safari in Namibia. As we explored the most dramatic parts of Namibia's Skeleton Coast, sat side by side in the Cessna 210, on the roof of the landrover, chatted over sundowners in the red sand and oysters on the deserted beach (except for fur seals), we became friends. Her story of growing up in Kenya, leaving for Abu Dhabi, getting discovered and becoming a successful runway model in London, New York and now Berlin - is exceptional. It's one of courage, determination and - ultimately self-respect. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

I love kids on safari. This episode is for them! A fun quiz to learn about African animals - for the whole family! Enjoy.

"But the desert is a bit boring, no? All that sand?". Far from it! Namibia is no pile of sand. The landscape changes every 10 minutes when you fly over it. Ancient plants, desert-adapted animals like Rhino and Elephant, fascinating geology, long history of hunter-gatherers, five-star night sky. If you are lucky enough to see it from the air with one of the Schoeman family, you will yearn for more - and wish you wrote every word down. André Schoeman flew us, landed us so we could jump into strategically placed Land Rovers to show us the highlights, then flew us again. The wow-factor he inspired with his knowledge and passion about this truly beautiful and unique part of the world never ceased. Here is a taste!
