Making educational family travel dreams
We drove 6 hours from Johannesburg to Tremisana Game Lodge based in Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa along the Panaroma Route. Stopping a few times along the way, our first stop was a coffee break at Alzu Petroport 2hours from Johannesburg. Alzu Petroport is a unique environment where you can watch buffalo and […]
We travelled to Cape Town with our 13-year-old Kidsetter in tow. We stayed in the heart of Cape Town with breathtaking views of Table Mountain. Unfortunately, the cable car closes for maintenance repair 6 weeks a year and we happened to be visiting during this time. Nearby, on the slopes on Signal hill, facing Cape […]
We drove to Chief Island in Maun, near the Okavango Delta. Much to our delight during the drive we observed a herd of Zebra migrating from the side of the road. What a sight ! We arrived at our lodge only to find there is a massive drought and the river that our lodge would […]
We drove to Gweta in Botswana with our 13-year-old Kidsetter in tow. Our Kidsetter was excited about the possibility of potentially seeing Meerkats in the wild. Of all our Botswana destinations this was our least favourite. The lodge we stayed at was exceptionally disorganised as the on-site manager was away. We had booked to go […]
We travelled to Elephant Sands in Botswana with our Zimbabwean guide Kuda and 13-year-old Kidsetter in tow. What a location. It is so deceiving, turning off the highway onto the dirt track, driving for some time wondering where are we going to end up? Well, into an Elephant oasis literally. There are 20 luxurious tents […]
We travelled via car to Botswana. We were almost refused entry as you must have your child’s birth certificate on you not only their passport. Thankfully we passed immigration without any issues and our guide named Freedom drove us to our accommodation in an open aired safari truck. We stayed at the stunning Cresta Mowana […]
We travelled to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe with our 13-year-old Kidsetter. We had arranged a local guide to meet us named Kuda. He was going to be our guide for our 10 days through Africa. There is so much to see and do in the town of Victoria Falls. We attended a live theatre of […]
We flew from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. We wanted to visit the Victoria Falls from the Zambia side. We had organised a private guide prior to arriving so we could hit the ground running. He drove us to the Zambia border and managed to liaise with a Zambian guide to collect us on […]
We travelled to Johannesburg with our 13-year-old Kidsetter. Admittedly we only were there as it’s a hub for international and domestic travel. We are fortunate to have family friend in ‘Joburg’ which increases the safety aspect for us. Otherwise I would strongly advise not to travel with Kidsetters to this destination. It is rife with […]
