Being together and working with my 2 children - and seeing how thei really liked it.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Book ! Bring old t-shirts and leave the behind, when you return home. Expect long hours, but the time fly. We were glad that we also had a week with vacation in Phalaborwa, so that we also got to see all the other animals ( the big five) i Kryger National Park on different safaries.3.
