Real Housewives of Dubai star Chanel Ayan shares her safari adventure in South Africa

Who else can transform a safari vacation into a fashion showcase?

None other than Chanel Ayan, star of "Real Housewives of Dubai".

The model and housewife recently took to Instagram to share stunning pictures from her safari adventure in the Kruger National Park.

During her stay, Ayan expressed her joy in a post and said: “Living the dream on safari - Big Five sightings, golden sunsets, peaceful drives, and iconic African beauty all around. Truly unforgettable."

Her best friend and co-star, Caroline Stanbury, commented, “Home suits you.”

Ayan is no stranger to Africa; she was born in Malaba, Kenya, a small town along the Kenya-Uganda border.

Due to her father's struggles with alcoholism, she was primarily raised by her mother and attended school in both Kenya and Uganda.

Growing up with five siblings, Ayan has strong family ties in South Africa, where she frequently visits and engages in charity work.

“I recently visited my family in South Africa, where I had the privilege of working with an amazing organisation called the Sesi Lomkhulu Foundation, which means 'big sister' in the Siswati language. The organisation is based in a rural community called Mataffin, just outside Mbombela, Mpumalanga. Being part of this organisation holds a special place in my heart,” she revealed in a post.

In addition to her charitable efforts, Ayan has raised awareness about health issues faced by senior citizens.

She shared a video to X of her embracing her mother and opened up about the challenges of caring for a parent with dementia.

“My mother's name is Mariam. She is an incredible single mother. She has dementia and is forgetting how to talk or remember us at all, and it’s so painful. Today, my baby sister just had a C-section, and I’m sure my mother would have loved to be present, especially since my sister is epileptic,” she said.
