    Hey there! Love your blog!

    Finally traveling to South Africa in 9 days! Capetown, Wine Country, Hermanus and then safari and Victoria Falls. I checked out your packing lists, but what’s the weather like now?

    Any updates to packing lists for April?

    Thank you!!!

    • Hey babe! You just need to pack for layers! The weather is a bit temperamental as the country is going into winter.

    Hi! Love your post and these are great recommendations. We are looking to vacation there next year and this itinerary helps. I was referred to a luxury travel boutique agency and the budget is about $800 pp per day and was trying to see if I could plan my own itinerary and details cheaper.

    A few questions…

    1. How did you get around each location? Capetown, safari and Winelands
    2. On safari did you plan hotel and game drive all through resort?
    3. Do you mind sharing for this itinerary (option 1) how much on average would you have to budget for?
    4. Did you need a travel agent?

      Hi Alkisha!

      1. UBER around Cape Town and Winelands is super affordable, safe and reliable. To get out to the game reserve—it depends on which one, but minimum 4-5 hour drive so you’ll want to self drive or hire a private driver I think!
      2. If you’re referring to Gondwana, it’s a hotel and game reserve. So the daily game drives are included in the stay + there are different levels of accommodation. However, you can’t go on safari there if you aren’t staying.
      3. I’m not sure we can estimate the budget for this as it’s so dependent on what transportation you choose, where you eat, how long you stay, etc. That said, South Africa is quite affordable compared to US prices!
      4. I did not get a travel agent.

We just returned from a bucket list sailing trip around the British Virgin Islands with @themooringsvacations — and it was an absolute dream come true!

If you aren’t looking for a vacation from the kids but from the cooking, cleaning, and responsibilities of everyday life, this is your sign!

Four moms, four kids, a crewed catamaran with a gourmet chef, a stewardess, and a captain that cook, clean and sail for you during 7 days of adventure, turquoise water, white sanded beaches, and quality time with your friends and little ones—it was heaven!

Check out my story highlight “BVIs ⛵️” for all of the fun from our trip! And stay tuned for an in-depth blog post with tips on sailing with kids + our complete itinerary 🏝️
