Dressing for safari is actually a lot like dressing for work, just trade in your heels for some hiking boots and throw on a safari chic hat and you’re ready to roll. Seriously, the easiest recipe for a safari outfit, is a pair of khaki pants and a button down shirt. Just like your classic corporate job uniform, except make it fashion (meets Steve Irwin) with a little bit of leopard . So here’s ZINA’S favourite outfits we found for the ultimate safari chic!

Here are 3 great reasons to visit Namibia in a pandemic!
#1 It’s home to some of Africa’s most breathtaking landscape and wildlife.
From Sossusvlei, to Etosha, to the Caprivi Strip. Namibia offers space, silence, and the opportunity to truly disconnect: it is the world’s second-least densely populated country. There aren’t many places left in an overpopulated world where you can immerse yourself as thoroughly in remote wilderness as Namibia.
#2 The perfect place to be part of nature, but still feel safe.
Game Lodges, Nature Reserves, 4x4 Routes & Bush Camps, Namibia has it all.
#3 It’s the ideal family holiday & self-drive destination.
Namibia is the perfect travel destination for families, due to many experiences and outdoor activities available. Also, the best thing about a self-drive vacation is that it gives you complete control over your daily activities, without being interrupted by other people and crowds. You can take as long as you need to get from point A to point B.
Namibia, is a quiet country of that provides all of the above and more with limited crowds. That alone should be enough to entice travellers to embark to Namibia.
Cinnamon Buns
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup almond milk
1 packet yeast in milk
1 egg yolk
1 full egg
3 cups flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence or paste
1 dash nutmeg
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp dark brown sugar
1/4 cup soft butter
1 tsp cinnamon extract
2 tsp cinnamon powder
HERE IS THE METHOD:
* First let’s make the dough. Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat until it reaches about 37-40 C’. Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the yeast. Set aside until foamy, for about 5 minutes. Whisk in the melted butter, egg and vanilla essence.
* Whisk in the flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yeast/egg mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until the dough becomes thick and slightly sticky. Knead on medium speed until the dough gathers around the hook, this takes about 5-7 minutes. Add up to 2 more tablespoons flour if necessary or the dough is too sticky.
* Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Butter the mixer bowl and return the dough to the bowl to rise. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour minutes. For best results place the dough into direct sunlight.
* While the dough is rising combine brown sugar, dark brown sugar, butter, cinnamon extract and cinnamon powder in a small bowl and stir together until you have a smooth paste.
* Once your dough is ready role it out into a big square about 1cm thick. Spread the cinnamon paste across the dough evenly.
* Cut the dough into long strip and role it up into a cinnamon swirl. Then place into a buttered baking tin or pie tin and let it proof rise for another 30 min in a warm environment covered with plastic wrap to keep the moisture in.
* Meanwhile preheat the oven to 190 degrees C on fan.
* Bake the buns until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan 15 minutes. Then sprinkle with more cinnamon, and maple syrup and enjoy your stick gooey cinnamon buns while warm and fragrant.
