We had always dreamt of going on safari all together but, with busy schedules and everyone living in different corners of the world, family trips are increasingly difficult to pull off. However, the year of my father\u2019s retirement seemed like the perfect excuse to make it happen. We had great fun getting inspired and designing the trip through the Timbuktu site, and the Timbuktu team worked hard to make it a reality. They took care of all the little details and made it a truly unforgettable experience. Highlights included the gastronomic delights of Cape Town\u2019s amazing restaurants, motorbiking along Chapman\u2019s Peak, epic lion sightings in the Kruger, watching turtles hatching eggs on the pristine beaches of KwaZulu-Natal and an encounter with a Ragged Tooth shark while scuba diving… Safe to say, those memories will definitely last a lifetime!<\/p>\n

\"Map<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

First stop Cape Town<\/h2>\n

4 nights at Kensington Place<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Having seen so many envy-inducing photographs of Cape Town<\/a> over the years, there was no way we could leave a few days exploring its delights off the itinerary. It certainly did not disappoint and our days there were filled with one brilliant activity after the next and fueled by some of the most delicious food we had all ever eaten, not to mention the wine\u2026<\/p>\n

We packed it all in: the Saturday farmer\u2019s market in Granger Bay, playing with the penguins at Boulders Beach, wine tasting and exploring the beautiful gardens of Babylonstoren, a motorbike ride along Chapman\u2019s Peak, and much much more.<\/p>\n

\"Cape

We were relieved to cool off in the icy waters of Clifton beach following some intense bat and ball games.<\/p><\/div>\n

Next stop: Safari in Kruger<\/h2>\n

3 nights in Sabi Sabi Selati Camp<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Our three days on safari were the ultimate in both luxury and adventure. The Sabi Sabi Selati lodge was sensational and we were so well taken care of by all of the staff, but particularly our wonderful guide and spotter. We couldn\u2019t have been more lucky with our sightings and were so happy to tick all of the Big Five off of our lists, but there is simply nothing better than seeing those majestic animals in their natural habitats: female lions and cubs dozing in the midday sun, a leopard stalking an impala only to come upon a very angry mother warthog, scores of wildebeests, buffalo and giraffe, and rhinos and elephants galore.<\/p>\n

\"Kruger

Amazing to get up close with these young and playful elephants.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kruger

One of our favourite things were sundowners on the Landcruiser after a day in the bush.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kruger

We couldn’t believe how close we were able to get to the lions relaxing on their rock in the sun<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kruger

Another highlight was the fascinating bush walk we went on with our guides where we learnt about the fragile but ingenious bush ecosystem.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kruger\"

A jaw-dropping moment when we spotted a leopard perched high in a tree looking out for his next meal.<\/p><\/div>\n

Final stop: beach time in Thonga Beach<\/h2>\n

5 nights at Thonga Beach Lodge<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

After the safari we transferred by air to a lodge situated on the miles and miles of beautiful northern KwaZulu-Natal beach below Mozambique<\/a> – it was the perfect end to our trip. Not able to sit for long on the beach doing nothing we had activities a-plenty to amuse ourselves with there as well. Snorkeling and massages for the less adventurous amongst us, and scuba diving in crystal-clear waters with sea turtles and sharks for those who still hadn\u2019t had quite enough wild animal encounters. In the evenings we were lucky enough to have guides to help us track down the turtles hatching their eggs on the beach. What a trip!<\/p>\n

\"Tonga

We were very happy to kick back and relax on Thonga beach in the sun to finish off our trip.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"South

We couldn’t believe it! To top off our wildlife sightings we managed to see several sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach at night!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Mozambique\"

Kit’s first experience diving – a test in the swimming pool.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Mozambique\"

Part of the challenge was to launch the diving boat in the surf.<\/p><\/div>\n
