The vibrant sounds and smells of Botswana had been calling me back since I first visited the Okavango Delta area in 2011 - the year after I won Olympic gold in the skeleton at the Vancouver Olympics. I was in Botswana filming a survival reality TV show and after it was over I stayed in touch with Robert Barber, one of the guides who had helped train us for the show. He kept telling me amazing stories of the incredible areas of Botswana that I should come back and visit one day. I couldn't resist, and three years later he ended up putting together a personalised safari for me and my fiance, Craig.
