Eye test!

Share when you spot it!

When you go on safari, you need to keep your eyes peeled in order to spot some animals. Can you spot the Leopard? Imagine driving in a game vehicle and trying to spot this!

My children and I watched the bioluminescence in the waves at Plettenberg Bay, in South Africa, on our last trip there. Stunning to witness and definitely ticked off my bucket list!

That's absolutely amazing

Bucket list tailor-made self-drive holiday that takes in all the top highlights of South Africa’s Cape and Garden Route.
