African Mother/ Daughter Adventures

Giraffe at Thornybush Reserve
Giraffe at Thornybush Reserve
What a better way to celebrate the completion of middle school, than an epic 2 week trip exploring Africa with my 14 year old daughter! We started in Capetown and worked our way down to the Cape of Good Hope, whale watching in Hermanus, ziplining in the winelands, and off to a safari by Kruger National Park. From there we flew to Victoria Falls for a final 3 days of adventure activities, wildlife and cultural interactions!

Robben Island Survivor in Cape Town
Best City Tour Ever!
Let me start by saying that I hate city tours. You know the type: worst case is a bus of noisy tourists and a loudspeaker that you can barely hear, best case is a private guide whisking you from one museum and architectural wonder to another with a detailed spiel and photo stop.

Forget what you know and imagine that your best friend knows …
South African Penguin Cape Peninsula
Sea Lions and Baboons and Penguins, Oh My!
Today we planned to head down the peninsula for some SUP and hiking. However, we woke to pouring rain so our guide suggested we stop by the aquarium for a 'behind the scenes' tour. We had an incredible guide there who had been volunteering at the aquarium since high school and now worked as one of the main divers (feeding sharks, caring …
Southern Right Whale Hermanus
Whales...Need I Say More?
Moment of truth. My biggest fear getting prepared for this trip was the self-drive portion. How well would I do on the "wrong" side of the road navigating big city traffic? Speaking of navigation, how does that work....is Google Maps still my friend? (in short, mostly yes). And of course, what about all the notorious crime I've read …
Zipline in Winelands
Canopy, Chocolate, and a French Villa that would make Parisians Jealous
Today we woke early to drive to Cape Canopy tours in the mountainous winelands, about 75 minutes' drive outside of Cape Town. It was pouring rain, par for the course this time of year, especially in the higher elevations. The guides greeted us with coffee, hot chocolate and rain jackets. After our safety briefing, we loaded into the 4WD …
Segway Tour at Spier Winery
Segway Through the Grape Vines
Today we drove to Spier winery, a sustainable, organic farm founded in 1692. Our primary reason for the visit was less about the wine and more about a unique activity offered here: Segway tours. After a safety briefing and some practice on the asphalt, we boarded our Segways and headed into the vineyard. Despite the forecast rains typical of this …
Giraffe at Thornybush Reserve
Thornybush Reserve
We flew into Hoedspruit and transferred to Thornybush Game Reserve, northwest of Kruger National Park. Many of the private game reserves along the borders of Kruger, including Thornybush, have taken down fences between each other and the National Park to allow wildlife freedom of movement across the entire Greater Kruger area (described to me as …
Leopard Cub Thornybush Reserve
Cubs
Today was probably the best day of our trip so far. We started out on our first game drive at 6am while it was still dark. The sunrise was breathtaking as we headed north to track some leopard cubs that Craig and Moses had spotted prints of the night before. We found the cubs shortly after daylight though mom was away hunting. Craig knew this set …
Black Rhino Thornybush Reserve
Black Rhino and More
This morning we woke for a singular goal: tracking black rhino. Our guide had spotted prints the night before and wanted us to get a chance to sight these endangered animals. Black rhino particularly like the thick thorny thickets in this area so it's one of the best places left to see this elusive species.

We followed tracks and dung, …
Leopard in Sabi Sands Reserve
Leopard Hills
Today we got to experience the highlights that make Sabi Sands such a special area. This morning we headed to the far north where a leopard had been spotted. We encountered her and her 3 cubs at the end of a ravine. We were getting ready to pull out to make room for another vehicle to visit when the leopards moved further down the ravine. Our …
