Stalking Africa's “Big Five” in Phinda (Part 2)
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?
Stalking Africa's “Big Five” in Phinda (Part 1)
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.
Cape Town’s Instagram Famous Street and a 14-Course African Feast
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.
Cape Town is crazy cool if you do these things
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.
Unexpected Johannesburg: Getting to the soul of South Africa’s culture
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.
They told us to avoid this Johannesburg neighborhood (we loved it)
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.
