  • Kam’Bati

    We are staying with our friend Dene now at her beautiful resort Kam’Bati River Resort. This is seriously some of the most spectacular scenery I’ve ever seen. Our chalet is right next to the river. There are geese walking along the lawn in front of me (at a healthy distance)…

  • Get Outside, Get into Nature and Make your own Discoveries!

    For our final weekend in Cape Town we decided to make it as family friendly as possible. IT’s been a bit of a tough balance between choosing things C would like (and M might enjoy too) vs seeing what we really want to see and experiencing the things that make…

  • Freedom!

    Our amazing friend Nollie is a teacher at the Curro High School around the corner from where we are staying. The Curro branch also has a daycare and she arranged for the kids to go for Thursday and Friday. Seriously. Two whole days. With no kids. In Cape Town. Dream…

  • Wine Estates and Jungle Gyms

  • Two Oceans Aquarium

  • Namibia

    Tonight marks our last night in Namibia. What an incredible country. It’s bittersweet to be flying out in the morning. It was such an adventure here. The kids seem to finally be hitting their stride with our hectic itinerary. C&M did amazing in the car today (all 6 hours of…

  • The Waterhole

    I’d have to say today was by far our most successful day. Not because of anything spectacular but because we saw a definite decrease in tears. Charlie is a creature of habit (I wonder where he picked that up!) and has been struggling a bit with our hectic schedule. And by…

  • Etosha – 1

    We arrived at Etosha National Park this morning. We spent about an hour and a half driving into our camp (Halali) we managed to spot zebras, giraffes, ostriches, wildebeest, springbox, oryx and an elephant in the short time we spent in the park. We had a pretty chill afternoon playing…
