Travel
No trip to Cape Town would be
complete without a visit to Cape Point,
Simons Town, Boulders Beach and of
course, seal watching and sampling
the delicious fish and chips at Hout
Bay, so we did all of that on Day 4. It
was exhilarating for us, and of course a
mix of exciting and tiring for the kids.
A top tip when travelling with small
children, is to spend more time in each
location and allow plenty of time for
rest in between tours.
On Day 5 we returned to the airport
to board another flight to Livingstone
Zambia. The 2hour and 50mins flight
appeared a lot shorter to me, and
before I knew it, we were in Livingstone.
Livingstone is a town in south-western
Zambia, a few kilometres from the
Zambezi River and the border with
Zimbabwe. It’s a hub for visitors to
the Victoria Falls and that was one of
our main reasons for visiting, as well
as our planned one-day safari trip to
the Chobe National Park in Botswana,
which I will talk about later in this
article. If you must cross off only one of
the world’s natural wonders from your
list, make it the Victoria Falls Zambia.
After a night of resting and looking
at photos from Cape Town, in our
wonderful self Catering apartment in
Livingstone (The Asante Apartments),
we were up bright and early and on our
way to the falls by 9:30am the following
morning.
As we entered the grounds of the
Victoria Falls, we were greeted by
the resident baboons. A word of
caution, do not try to interact with the
