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.

Our tour of Malaysia is over and we’re spending today flying from Kuala Lumpur to Manila, Philippines. Since we have a 6-hour scheduled layover in Manila, we’re going to make the most of the airport amenities, but since we have to exit the secure area and recheck our bags anyway, we might take advantage of a special opportunity that presents.

Our journey by train around Malaysia continues as we’ve left Ipoh and arrived for a few days on the island of Penang. Today, we’re starting off by exploring the iconic sites and bites in and around the UNESCO world heritage site of George Town, then heading to the legendary night market that’s just minutes away from our resort.

We just took a 200km train trip from Kuala Lumpur to a Malaysian city that’s known as much for its vibrant food and arts scene as for its rich mining history. But we’re here for a different kind of adventure: we’re about to climb, crawl, and swim deep into one of the country’s hottest caves, in an experience that’s sure to be a physical challenge for the entire fam.

This week we’re in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, known as a mecca for soaring skyscrapers, big-budget Hollywood films, and one of the most colorful cultures we’ve encountered in the past 3 years. No place captures the flavor of that culture more than the streets of the city, so we’re braving the humidity, dodging the afternoon showers, and heading out in search of the top sites and bites.

We have another marathon travel day ahead of us as we jump from the Philippines paradise here in El Nido, back to Manila for the better part of the day, and then jet off to Malaysia to mark our 22nd country visited in our worldwide travels. Even if all our flights depart on time, this journey gets us into Kuala Lumpur at 1am.

El Nido isn’t just one of the most popular destinations in the Philippines; it’s also one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. So we’re leaving our beachfront glamping tent for the day and heading out in search of adventure amongst the surrounding islands. But with so many hidden treasures to explore, which will be the most memorable?

It’s been 12 months since our first trip to the Philippines paradise of Palawan. But there’s an even more famous spot in this province and there’s no way we can go another year without seeing for ourselves how it compares.

After spending the past few days hanging out with her best friends in BGC, we’re taking a little day trip well outside of Manila, complements of our new favorite website for Philippines travel and adventure. We’ve left this little day of adventure completely in their capable hands, so the four of us are excited to see what they have in store for us over the next 11 hours.

Since we’ve been spending so much time in the Philippines AND since we’ve been using Manila as a hub for a lot of our Asian travels AND since our good friends from the MomDuty channel have moved back here and encouraged us to be their neighbors, we’ve decided to set up a second home base here in BGC.

We’re heading out on a marathon journey that starts in Denver, Colorado and takes us back to the capital of the Philippines — but over the course of two full days of airports, lounges, hotels, and taxis.
