I met award winning international wedding and event planner, author and brand ambassador/consultant Mwai Yeboah @lovefrommwai, founder of @lovefrommwai_experiences at @theeventxperienceafrica in January 2020 Mwai, the Zambian born woman of great talent, married to a lucky Ghanaian man, residing in my favourite country UK were both on a discussion panel where masterminding @funkebucknor pushed the agenda for collaboration at the conference. Over a plate of Naija Jollof for Mwai and Ofada Rice for me, we figured it would be a wonderful idea if I joined her and her team for a destination wedding and editorial in Zambia in the coming weeks. That is how I ended up at @avani_victoriafalls for 8 nights, being a part of 12 set ups in 6 days! Now that’s how the team stole the name #TheDreamTeam Of all the amazing things that I experienced on this exploit, living with Zebras, Giraffes, Monkeys, Antelopes, Crocodile (we had some for dinner too), cruising on the Zambezi River and dancing in the Victoria Falls, one of the biggest and most awe-inspiring waterfalls on the planet, one of the natural wonders of the world, I met and worked with amazing people, whom I dedicate this post to. It was certainly an international team! From Zambia - Lorna, Chibuye, Peter and Tisa From South Africa - Sascha From Germany - Joana From Prague - Stephan and Avana From Russia - Anna From Poland, Philipines, sierra leone, Zimbabwe, Nigeria & England - Amy, Meaghan, Karolina, Pride, Fen, Segun, Amida, Vic, Nick, From USA - Dannis From France - Michelle To the Dream Team, Cheers! 🥂 . #LFMwai #LoveFromMwaiExperience #AAMoments in #Zambia #AvaniVictoriaFalls #AvaniHotelsAndResorts #AnantaraHotelsAndResorts #ThinkMahogany #TEXA2020 #TheEventXperienceAfrica #DestinationWeddings #StyledShoots #TheEventXperienceAfrica2020 #BeMore #DoMore #EventProducer #EventsInGhana #EventsInAfrica #EventExperience #GhanaEventsIndustry #AfricaEventsIndustry #BecauseOfTEXA || #BeMoreFebruary (at Mahogany Events by Debra-Jane) https://www.instagram.com/p/B83nq1THFRo/?igshid=hiv0i9u7jyap
