Rachel is currently in the midst of her divorce from Siya Kolisi.
In her video, which captures her beautiful trip to South Africa's neighbouring country, she revealed that it was the first New Year she spent without her kids.
"I'm in the process of getting divorced, and co-parenting my kids. This was the first New Year without my kids so instead of sitting home alone… I booked a solo trip I’ve wanted to do for years," Rachel wrote.

In a post containing a series of pictures and videos shared on Instagram, Rachel also poured her heart out to fans.
"This was my first holiday/new year without my kiddies, so instead of staying home sad and alone I went on my dream trip to Botswana."
"It's the first solo trip I've done, and I'm an introvert, so I arrived super nervous and sad and left with a very full heart and so many amazing new friends from all over the world."
On October 22, South Africans were stunned after news emerged that one of the country's most prominent couples, Springbok rugby captain Siya Kolisi and his wife Rachel, were divorcing.
The couple announced the news on their Instagram account on Tuesday.
Kolisi married Rachel Smith in 2016, and they have two children together.
"We wanted to share some important news with you. After much reflection and open conversations, we have mutually decided to end our marriage.
"This decision comes from a place of love, respect, and understanding that this is the best path forward for both of us."

"While our relationship as a couple is changing, we remain great friends and committed partners in raising our children with the same love and care they've always known.
"We will also continue working together on the Foundation that means so much to us. We are grateful for the love, understanding, and support you've shown us, and we kindly ask for your respect as we navigate this transition."
