You sit. You wait. You watch. This could be the opening line for a lot of things I guess – going to the cinema to see your favourite film maybe? Going to a live sporting event – be it a soccer or rugby match, Wimbledon, a Grand Prix, even the Olympics. Or even lounging on […] Read More

A family safari is a wonderful experience, however sometimes it can be difficult to find a camp or lodge where the whole family can stay together under one roof and not be spread out across several rooms.
