Some people go on a holiday for fun in the sun, but Naomi Campbell managed to combine her recreation with humanitarianism.

The 43-year-old model spent time in Kenya as part of her charity trip to Africa to further the work of her friend and mentor, the late Nelson Mandela.

On Sunday, Campbell was seen frolicking with youngsters from a local orphanage as they played catch on the beach.

Campbell waded in the water as she tossed footballs to the children, who appeared to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The model wore a sheer loose-knit white dress over her white bikini, which showed off her slim figure.

Campbell kept her long brunette locks hidden under a brown fedora, protecting her eyes from the harsh sun.

Naomi has been in Africa since the end of December, where she ran into former flame Flavio Briatore, 63, and his wife Elisabetta Gregoraci, 33.

While the meetup could have been awkward for many in similar situations, the trio seemed happy to run into each other, as they later enjoyed some local excursions together.

They even welcomed in 2014 together, as Campbell met up with the couple on a beach in Malindi, Kenya for New Year's Eve.
