THE INNOVATOR

Florence Kagiso

Over the past 12 months, our content has

championed those innovators working

tirelessly to make the travel landscape more

accessible, sustainable and diverse. When

Botswana-based Florence became one of

Africa’s fi rst female guides in 2004, she laid

the ground for a new generation of women

to follow in her footsteps. Florence currently

works at Chobe Game Lodge with an all-

female safari guide team — aff ectionately

known as Chobe’s Angels — that have helped

travellers explore the wilds of Botswana’s

northeastern corner and, in so doing, shift ed

the role of women working in the region’s

safari industry. Her story and dedication have

inspired you, too.
