We’re wrapping up a tour of South Africa with a few days deep in the bush of Kruger National Park. Since our very fruitful game drives around Phinda already checked off all of Africa’s Big Five, including the lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard, we’re focusing this safari on spotting a few other exciting animals, including one of the rarest on Earth.

On our second and third days at Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa, we're in search of more beautiful wildlife — and we don't come up empty-handed. Will we finally find the one member of Africa's "Big Five" that's proven most elusive?

It’s finally time to trek into the bush for some big game safari adventure. But that starts with a full day of travel, so we’re taking you along and showing you the Airlink flight experience to Kruger, the chartered plane experience to Phinda, how we pack efficiently for a safari, and what our luxurious mountain lodging is like.

We’ve spent the past week exploring the beautiful country of South Africa and while the history, food, landscapes have been captivating, I’m definitely craving another dose of extreme adventure. Turns out there’s a place just a short drive away where you can cage dive with Africa’s apex predators: the nile crocodile. So Colt and I are leaving the girls above-surface for a bit while we submerge ourselves in a bucket-list experience that we hope to return from.

We’re spending 2 nights in South Africa’s wine country and experiencing everything that Babylonstoren has to offer, from incredible foods (including some that brooklyn makes for us) to farm operations. And of course Colt will be sampling some of the wines made right on-property.

We’re staying closer to the city of Cape Town and exploring the local sites and bites that represent its vibrant, multi-cultural community. From the Instagram-famous streets and historical mosques of Bo-Kaap to home-cooked Malay dishes and a 14-course African food performance.

Our South African adventures continue but today we’re flying from the mega city of Johannesburg to the coastal treasure of Cape Town. You’re about to see what this breezy travel day entails but we’re also gonna show you the luxury waterfront digs where we’re crashing for the next 3 nights and we’re gonna take you on a very different kind of African safari just outside of The Mother City.

South Africa is our family’s 23rd country after 3 years of constant travel and we’ve kicked off our Rainbow Nation tour here in Johannesburg… also known as Jo-burg… or Jozi. With so much diverse culture and rich history to discover, we’re hiring a local guide and a private driver for the day so that we can explore the city efficiently before heading into the remote bush for back-to-back safaris.

After 3 years exploring the Americas, Europe and Asia, we just arrived in Africa for the first time. And even though we’re spending our entire 18-day trip in the country of South Africa, we really wanna get a taste of the cultures that span the continent. So to kick things off, we’re leaving Melrose Arch—one of the nicest neighborhoods in Johannesburg—and heading to Yeoville—one of the poorest. It may be notorious for its high levels of crime and poverty, but it also boasts a diverse pan-African culture that’ll provide an eclectic backdrop to our first real experience in the city.
