🏆 WINNER - BEST TRAVEL CONTENT CREATOR 2026: Meryl Mukenge

She Doesn't Just Show Us Places — She Makes Us Feel The Journey.

In a world where we dream of escape, she makes us stop and explore. With beauty in every destination and adventure in every frame, her content has become a passport for South Africans to see the world through her eyes.

She travels with grace, she captures with purpose, and she proves that travel is more than movement — it's memory, culture, and inspiration. Her platform is more than travel — it's wanderlust with a purpose.

She is an explorer. A storyteller. A woman purposefully influencing with the power of adventure.

Congratulations to our Best Travel Content Creator Winner! Your journeys are inspiring a nation to explore!

Normally the Book Club meet ups are around a table, with some good food and wine but this time around, we took a step into nature to discuss our latest read: The Midnight Library by Matthew Haig 🌙

Located in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, this unique sanctuary is the last major refuge for Eastern lowland gorillas (Gorilla beringei graueri), the largest gorilla subspecies in the world.
