Naomi jetted into the country last year, for the Christmas
and New Year holidays.
She arrived aboard her luxurious jet and was in the tourist
resort town of Malindi for one month.
Campbell stayed at the exclusive Lion in the Sun resort
owned by her ex-boyfriend and billionaire Flavio Briatore.
The international celebrity's visit is a major boost to the
tourism sector, which has been devastated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Campbell is among many international celebrities who love
the resort town of Malindi and was in the town last year for a photoshoot of an
international magazine.
