If anyone can pull off a fanny pack, it's Kim Kardashian.

Which is good, because we are suggesting that the E! star invest in one to keep track of her essentials—keys, lipstick, means of getting from one country to another...

The bootylicious traveler was detained at customs upon her arrival in Johannesburg, South Africa, Wednesday after coming up empty when asked to present her passport.

Knowing she had it when she boarded her flight in Botswana—where she, boyfriend Reggie Bush and sister Khloé visited a diamond mine in league with the Russell Simmons Diamond Empowerment Fund—Kardashian realized she had left the very important document on the plane.

"They claimed they looked for it but I had a feeling they didn't," she told People. "They called the embassy and said I would have had to sleep at the hotel airport."

But Bush, apparently quite the smooth talker, persuaded officials to let him back on the plane for another look.

And sure enough, there was his lady's passport, and he and Kardashian were allowed to leave OR Tambo International Airport for greener pastures.

"Reggie found my passport!!!!! My baby saves the day!," Kim tweeted afterward.

You might even call the man a Saint.
