We recently enjoyed a few days at Hilltop Resort in Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal. Renowned for its incredible view and thriving wildlife population, Hilltop did not disappoint.
Our favourite was the Umbhombe Forest walking trail around the outskirts of the resort. We saw so much game on that trail that we didn’t even need to go on any game drives!
We loved the safari night drive (where we had an extremely close shave with a very angry male rhino) and saw many of the larger animals on our self-drive safaris.
Hilltop gets five huge thumbs up from Chasing the Rainbow family travel blog! We hope you enjoy the short video.

We are often asked “how do you get your kids to pose so nicely” as other parents battle to get their teens and tweens to play along. Well, here’s our secret – our kids aren’t keen posers either. We have to work really hard to get great shots of everyone being happy, and have learned some excellent techniques along the way.
Here are 7 tips, to help you capture happy family travel memories:Continue reading…

Here is what we have planned so far:

When I saw that Kragga Kamma Game Park was running a kiddie’s photo competition over the school holidays, I knew this outing would be a winner for us. Our blogging travel adventures have been somewhat limited of late, with Ralph out of action recovering from a shoulder op, and we are suffering from a chronic case of cabin fever.
We have three kids, loads of photographic equipment, and a collective keen love of nature – the perfect ingredients for a successful kid’s photo safari. So we were thrilled to be back on the road again, this time with the kids in charge of taking the photos, mom being the driver, and dad capturing the moment with his good arm.Continue reading…

Those of us lucky enough to live at the coast have a constant flow of visits from our landlocked friends and family. Sometimes we have the time to show them around our lovely city, but most often we are working and are unable to take leave and play tour guide. So, the million dollar question is “what do we do with them?”
Most visitors are looking for a mix of relaxation, entertainment and exploration. You need to spend some quality time with them, but also steer them in the right direction to go off and enjoy your city by themselves. Here is our guide to showing your visitors the best of Port Elizabeth:
