It makes me so happy to receive photos from my clients.
This Meerkat Family of 4 (kids are 14 and 16 years old) just returned from their trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. They overcame their fear of hights for this hot air balloon safari over the southern Serengeti.
What an unforgettable experience!

Hi there, I’m Roos.
In 2016, I moved to Cape Town, South Africa, with my husband, Dirk, and our two boys, then just 2 and 4 years old.
As passionate travelers, we took the opportunity to explore Southern Africa—turning every school holiday into an incredible adventure.
Eventually, we took five months off to travel through six countries with just a car and a trailer.

Many friends have asked: Is Africa a destination to take your kids? Will we enjoy it? Is there enough to do? Is it worth the long flight from Europe?
My answer is always a big, fat, loud ‘YES’!

With spectacular wildlife, breathtaking nature, friendly people, and incredible diversity, it is a destination full of adventure!

I have turned my personal experiences into my mission: helping families go on an unforgettable adventure! So if Africa is on your bucket list, reach out, and let’s start planning!

Exploring the country like it’s your playground. 🌊🏄🏼‍♀️✨                                                                ...

Cape Town has been voted ‘Best City in the World for 2025’ by and, according to me, too.

Living in Cape Town has shown me all the reasons why:
In our time here, we’ve hiked Table Mountain, had countless picnics on the beach, enjoyed the local markets, and shared incredible meals—all as a family.

Cape Town has truly been a place where we’ve made so many beautiful memories together. And with , my goal is to help others fall in love with this city too!

Cape Town is getting ready for the festive season. The sun is out, the grass is green, and the wine lands are looking better than ever.
There are so many beautiful estates to choose from to either have a fantastic meal in the restaurant, or to slow down on the lawn with a pre-ordered picnic basket. Ideal for when you are traveling with young kids.
Can’t choose where to go? Take…. I mean… ask me!
Maybe swap the European rain for some Capetonian sun next year?

Where the desert meets the Atlantic… Namibia is a fantastic family holiday destination if you are up for an adventure. Sand boarding, quad biking, dune bashing… but also stargazing surrounded by incredible rock formations. Is Namibia on your bucket list yet?

Goodmorning from the Okavango Delta - Botswana. Where normally rivers flow towards the sea, the Kavango river has its origin in the highlands of Angola, and flows inland to create these incredible lush wetlands.

While highlights like Cape Town, Sossusvlei, the Okavango Delta and Serengeti remain timeless, there’s a trend toward exploring some of the lesser-known but very worthwhile corners on the African continent.
I have highlighted three of my (long list of) favorites that are worth adding to your travel radar for 2025. See my stories for more….

Besides stunning wildlife, epic adventures and unforgettable family moments, I also make sure you have a list of places to go to for drinks and dinner. Cape Town has many great restaurants and cute coffee places to choose from, but I’ll happily share my favorites.

A highlight of Namibië is climbing ‘Big Daddy’ at sunrise and running down into Deadvlei. This incredible scenery does not need a filter.
You can stay in one of the comfortabel lodges or park your car with roof tents on the campsite a few kilometers away.
It doesn’t matter how you travel, just be sure to travel here!

Clifton Beach, Cape Town at sunset at the end of April. This is what autumn looks like in the southern hemisphere.
If you want to avoid the summer peak season with Christmas, the May holiday is a great time to travel and explore this beautiful part of the world.

Phones, iPads and screens become completely obsolete when there is so much to see, do and explore.
Exposing your children to nature, another culture and an outdoor life will result in unforgettable family memories. Guaranteed.
