We travel to South Africa and Aquila Private Game Reserve, a private Big 5 conservation experience conveniently positioned just a few hours from Cape Town, to learn about conservation, and the difference kids can make. As our jeep pulls quietly to a stop, the dull hum of the engine is replaced by an ominous rumbling […] Read more…
“Whoa, what even is this place?” asks my awestruck daughter as we walk past the hulking industrial remains of a grain silo on Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. “Are we sleeping in a factory?” The short answer is yes. Well, at least it used to be. Once an ugly industrial complex of derelict concrete grain silos, […] Read more…
South Africa is a nation that ignites the senses. It’s a place that you smell, taste, touch, hear, see and feel. So much so that after several visits, I’ve become somewhat hooked on South Africa. And by somewhat, I mean I love it with a fervour bordering on the obsessive. But while I’ve explored […] Read more…
Hair blowing in the breeze, my beaming water sprite flits fairylike from rock to rock, her white dress billowing behind her as her gaze is drawn over and again to the foaming ocean lapping at the shore. It calls her, as always, but she manages to resist giving in to her usual trick of leaping […] Read more…
Written by Raffles – Aged 11 “It’s a turtle”, I excitedly try to tell my Dad. The only catch is we are in snorkels and under the water, so I’m trying to tell him via crazy pointing and interpretive underwater dance. He looks a little shocked.

It is not often that a 10-year old gets to wax philosophic for an hour with one of his idols. But that’s exactly what happened when Raffles caught up with entrepreneur and philanthropist Bruce Poon Tip, founder of award-winning small group adventure travel company G Adventures. Raffles first learned about Bruce back in 2016 when […] Read more…
Travelling to Cambodia with kids? Good news… it’s way easier (and way more fun) than you might think. Yes, the temples are epic, but that’s just the start. Between tuk-tuk rides, stretchy street doughnuts, and enough Indiana Jones vibes to thrill even the grumpiest tween, Cambodia is an underrated family travel gem. Here’s […] Read more…
It’s hailed as Phuket’s must-see spectacle, and as soon as my kids see the flashy video of Phuket Fantasea’s dazzling Thai dancers, acrobats, and magical illusions, they want a piece of the action. At least they do until they spot the chorus line of tarted up elephants balancing precariously on each other like giant trunky […] Read more…
Raffles is pretty excited when we tell him we’re going to explore a real fort. When we add the bit about him making his very own weapon while he’s there, he’s just about ready to sign up for a job with Border Protection. I’m not sure he’d last long in the job though as he […] Read more…
