Roaming with Dumbo in Africa

From the Daily Mail

Well, I left my bikini on a hill in Johannesburg. Not any old hill, but the rose-pink village of the Westcliff Hotel which curves its way up opposite the zoo on the north side of the city.
From the terraces of our rooms we looked out not only on the spectacular pool, which hangs as if suspended in the sky, but also on the elephant enclosures across the way. Days later we would watch elephants again, whole herds of them, in the wild. But for now, here was the anticipation of a new adventure, and the bikini, put out to dry after a hurried swim, was forgotten in the rush.
For years I had longed to take our children, aged 12 and 10, to South Africa, but its very nature - vivid, colourful, turbulent - made it essential to get this kind of trip right. We went at Easter, encouraged by reports that the southern tip would just be dipping into autumn. After an 11-hour flight and an overnight stop in Jo'burg we left next morning on a small propeller plane headed for Sun City, tucked away on the edge of the Kalahari.
When Sun City opened in 1979, this fantastical resort was the only place in South Africa where gambling was legal. The casino was followed by golf courses and water parks, entertainment on lavish scale and a man-made rainforest.
It is aimed at children, or at least those who still believe in fairytales, its sell being that centuries ago people from the north of Africa travelling south settled in a green valley here until an earthquake forced them to abandon it.
Now, like Sleeping Beauty's castle, it has been rediscovered, its stairways, temple statues and sunken pools evoking an ancient but luxurious time, its hidden waterslides daringly modern and fun. ... more

Hire a car to explore

We visited Cape Town and the surrounding areas for a three week holiday in November three years ago.
The views are really special and the food and drink are cheap and excellent.
The highlight of the holiday was a trip from Hermanus to see the great white sharks. This was truly awesome and something never to be forgotten.
We hired a jeep for the full three weeks which gave us the freedom to travel where and when we wanted which was a huge bonus.
I would recommend this to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Shoppers' paradise

I spent one week at the Vineyard Hotel, Newlands in the suburbs of Cape Town. Excellent service, food and wine at a very reasonable cost.
Cape Town is a shoppers' paradise with good quality goods and particularly jewellery at keen prices. I recommend a visit to the waterfront and a trip to the winelands.
I advise you not stay in the city centre as this can be a no-go area at nights and weekends. I will return for sure.
