EASTER HOLIDAYS AROUND THE CORNER

We have just about seen the first quarter of 2011 flashed by and with that being said, we all know that the Easter Holidays are just around the corner. Children are on holiday and need to be entertained. Or you as a family just need to have that short break together in order to re-energize yourself for the next part of the year.

We in South Africa are lucky in that we have wonderful weather just about all year round. With April being Autumn and some of the best weather of the year, lovely and sunny during the day and just a bit nippy in the evening to make a fire to sit around if you are outside and a little bit of port to warm the insides. Because of our wonderful weather, it is ideal for families to undertake camping holidays.

We have it all. Mountains, Sea and beaches, Bush and even the desert. So take out your camping gear, check for leaks in the tents, pack up and go. A few suggestions for great camping spots:

• Bela Bela (or Warmbaths) – lots to do for the kids
• Kruger National Park – only if all of you enjoy the wildlife
• Cape Vidal – wonderful sandy beaches and great fishing
• Mosselbay and George – wonderful towns and lots to keep busy
• Drakensberg – various great camping spots
• Scottburgh – great camping grounds, walking distance to the beach
• BaviaansKloof – get in touch with nature
• West Coast

Afrique Escapades favourite is of course Marakele National Park in Limpopo close to the town of Thabazimbi. And close by you will now find the Marakele Predator Park, where you will meet the white lions and have an opportunity to see them being fed and also learn more about this mystical King of the Jungle.

We have such a wonderful country with so many beautiful places. Why just always go to one place year after year? Get adventurous and choose a new destination. Who knows, you might like it. And imagine all the new memories you will collect along the way.
