Instead of deciding to leave the kids home for the next "family" vacation, relax! You can make traveling with the kids an enjoyable and stress-free experience by following these simple tips: 1. When possible, travel at night and let the kids sleep. But be cautious, because it's easy to get tired.

The botanical gardens are full with species of flowers and birds that you would only...

Winter is well on it's way to southern Africa in June, so Claire & I decided to visit the warmer, rain free Waterberg region north of Tshwane (new name for Pretoria) and call on two relatively little known neighbouring private game reserves of Marakele and Welgevonden, 33000 and 35000 hectares in size respectively and offering the Big 5 experience. We selected three leading properties for our evaluation. A little more about the reserves before we knock on their front door. Exclusivity is assured through the banning of private vehicles within both reserves. Guests arrive at a peripheral welcoming area and are met by their lodge hosts.
