Candice Swanepoel is back in South Africa for a photoshoot

Candice Swanepoel is one of the highest-paid supermodels in the world who travels from New York to Paris and Milan regularly.

But home is where the heart it, the 30-year-old cover girl made clear this week as she modeled items from her Tropic Of C line in the savanna of South Africa.

In a touching caption, the blonde beauty talked about having to leave her hometown at the age of 16 to pursue her modeling career. And she misses it dearly.

The lingerie model was in her swimsuit as she posed with hat on as well as a woven crossbody purse around her chest and a white linen jacket hanging from her shoulders while inside an open-air truck.

'A love letter to Africa,' she began.

'I left South Africa when I was 16 years old to pursue my career, but it never left me. You do not choose to live in Africa, Africa lives in you, and I carry Africa with me every day.'

And then she added: 'Africa. A distant and intimidating land to many, untouchable in its vastness, wild to its core.'
