- In August 2019, we took an amazing family trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Our journey began in Victoria Falls, where we swam in Devil's Pool and made day trips into Zambia and to Chobe National Park in Botswana. Then, we flew down to Cape Town. We visited Table Mountain, Langa Township, and the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, before taking a day trip out to the beautiful Cape of Good Hope. We spent 2 nights in Simonstown, and loved visiting the friendly penguins at Boulders Beach! Finally, we flew to Johannesburg, drove the gorgeous Panorama Route to Kruger National Park, and spent 5 nights on safari, splitting our time between Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge and Hamilton's Tented Camp on the Mluwati Concession.
We saw incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes, and met some of the friendliest people! Africa definitely has our hearts, and we hope to one day be back.

This video brought me to tears! What a great adventure!
Thank you! It truly was an amazing trip and we still talk about it all the time - one of our favourite memories, for sure!
thanks for sharing - greeting from China
Carrie! This is an amazing video!! I recently went to Southern Africa (SA, Zambia and Botswana) with a group called contiki. We did mostly everything your family did and it was amazing, but I wanted to thank you for the letting me relive my dream through your vlog! Unfortunately I went in the wet season so not "many" cat sightings but I do not regret anything!
Thank you! I bet the green landscape in summer was gorgeous.
Nice vlog!
Amazing vlog. Giving me alot to look forward to for my upcoming trip!
Thank you - isn't it amazing that travel is finally opening up again? Hope you have a wonderful time!
This was really beautiful. Hope to have you in Uganda for tree climbing lions!!!❤️❤️❤️
LOL! "This is the dumbest thing we've ever done." Amazing trip and great video!
What a fantastic trip! That's the trip of our dreams and we can't wait to finally get to Southern Africa. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you - I enjoyed checking out your channel too!
@@CarrieCook come to Nepal 🇳🇵
@@Rajunath12350 I would love to!! Someday!!
@@CarrieCook ur vlogs r awesome 😍
This is brilliant! You have shown both the beauty and the struggles of these countries in an engaging way!
Thank you so much.
I'm watching this for the 2nd time. Super enjoyable video
Thank you! It was a really fun trip.
Yhoooo.....that devil's pool! Is there some wall or something that stops you from being swept over the cliff?????
Can't get my head around that!
Yes, it's a deep swimming hole with a rock ledge around it, maybe 12 ft deep. The river water flows over the surface, but the water beneath is still.
Best vlog I ever watch ❤️
Ah, thank you! ☺️
Wow great video , one of the best I ever saw on South Afrika...baie mooi...baie dankie...
Thank you!
@@CarrieCook Very welcome...plz visit again!!
Loooove the way you film. Loved this video
Thank you!
wander-full
Such a beautiful country, such a lovely video, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. Hope you are well and having a great weekend. So sorry we haven't been able to visit you for a while we have been busy moving house. The big 5 totally awesome. Thanks again. Stay safe and catch up again real soon.
Thank you - nice to 'see' you again!
That was an amazing travel vlog... enjoyed it thoroughly. Looking fwd for more of this kind once the pandemic situation ends.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, we're hoping to be able to get out and explore again in the near future. It's been a long tough road for everyone.
Good video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌
We enjoyed this vlog so much, we watched it a few times 😀 What a wonderful family trip. And you documented everything so beautifully!
Can’t wait to make such memories with our son😊
Thank you! Can't wait to make more memories with my kids before they are grown and gone - really hoping for an end to the pandemic this year so we can get back to traveling again.
Super vlog, such an awesome country and you covered and explained it beautifully! I started watching this as is came recommend from a few vlogs i have put together around Africa. Great work, keep it up 😊
Thank you! I'll check your channel out.
Very nice. Also good to see the standard tourist, well not fakes, but a bit of a kitschy way at the start at Vic falls. Next to that I look forward to see Kruger NP myself.
Great video . Greetings from 🇬🇧London
@Amelia Greer not bad thanks 👍just out here on my purpose chasing my dream into reality
Your trip was absolutely beautiful. Now I want to make the exact same itinerary when visiting Africa por the first time hahaha 😍 thank you!!!
Thank you - it really is such a gorgeous place.
Cool I'm from SA as well
Hope this was a great Southern African holiday for the family.
It sure was - I'm so glad we made this trip with our kids.
nice vlog !! keep it up !!
Thank you! I can’t wait to take more trips and document them, once travelling is safe again.
This is a very well put together vlog. I enjoyed the whole vlog, stories, and fun stuff you guys did. Kuddos!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words.
❤️❤️❤️
Found this video after watching your “China” video. Looks like we have a new destination to add to our bucket list. I plan to use your videos as an inspiration as we create videos for our upcoming adventures!
Glad you enjoy them!
Hi Carrie. Wow as a South African who’s been to many places in my country on video production assignments, I must say this trip was wonderfully planned. You guys did your research very well looking at the places you went to. Your family definitely knows how to trip. This is what vacations are about right? Do things you wouldn’t usually do in your home town👌🏾✅, makes for beautiful memories
Thanks so much for your kind words! Yes, this trip definitely gave us the chance to do a lot of things we can't do at home - South Africa holds a special place in our hearts and I hope to travel back someday. Hope you are keeping safe and well.
From South Africa, here in the US, planning a trip to Safari, really gave me an idea of what to expect, enjoyed watching it, thanks for sharing
Hope you have a wonderful trip!
I enjoyed your vlog, I can't think you were rested when you got back home!
When we get out of the city into the bushveld we stay at least 2 weeks to rest, in other words you just take in the beauty and rest but I doubt teenagers would want to rest that much. Africa needs to get into your heart, it seemed like you had a very busy schedule.
I encourage you to come for longer; pick your favoirite places and spend time there... do it in such a way that if you want to stay longer at a certain place you can.
If you want a beach vacation in Cape Town come Desember - March, good weather...
If you want to see wild life , winter is best, May - July.
Thank you for making the vlog, had tears in my eyes... Africa is a kingdom of beauty!
We would love to come back someday. Maybe when we retire, and don’t have to work vacation time around the constraints of our jobs!
Twas an amazing adventure, may I know which month is that, weather looks cooperating in some points. Want to experience something too in the future . Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Awesome vlog.... well done. Looks amazing. Planning for 2022. Hopefully covid will be under control. Hopefully!
Thank you! I hope you get to go. This is one of my very favourite trips we have ever done. I understand the Covid situation is not great there right now, but with recent announcements that vaccine production will begin locally next year, I think the future looks brighter.
I'm looking at a 54 day tour through 10 countries in Africa.
It may be Corona right now, but you've inspired me to plan.
Thanks for the great video from a fellow Canadian watching from Bali, Indonesia. :)
54 days would be such a treat! We are limited to much shorter trips these days, but try to make the most of them. At this point I'd be happy to get to go anywhere at all, no matter how short!
Love this documentary! Reminds me a lot of Karl Watson's Travel documentaries another great youtube channel! Keep it up, I would love to see more of your travel adventures!
I'm a fan of Karl's!
@@CarrieCook Awesome! Good to hear! Would love to see your family eventually do a travel video on my home state of Hawaii (once all of this COVID stuff resolves, haha). Looking forward to seeing more videos from your channel. Mahalo
@@apluscast Hawaii is one of the destinations we are thinking of visiting for March Break next year - if we feel safe enough to travel by then. Fingers crossed!
@@CarrieCook Hoping for the best. Its really bad here right now, we just had another government shutdown due to Covid and the numbers are still rising! Kauai right now is doing the best out of all the islands. Oahu where I live is doing the worst. But I am hopeful, we are able to resolve this stuff before next March!
My goal is to take my dad, sister and nieces to SA.
Such an amazing video!! I’ve currently paid for my trip to South Africa over a year ago now, but covid is having fun with messing it up so I’m having to watch these videos to keep me going right now 🙈🦁
Ugh, how disappointing for you. I hope you're able to make it there before too long. It's such a beautiful place.
omg! i've been literally searching for days looking for latest Southern Africa vlog. thank you Carrie!!!...
I'm planning to go there next month, i'm eyeing the 22 days tour.
love your vlog!!! liked and subs. :-*
prepare for adventure of a lifetime buddy ...enjoy !
@@georgeveltchev530 Hi! I'm planning to book the INTREPID Kruger, Coast and Cape tour, or you have better suggestion in mind? is it safe? I'm traveling alone and I'm planning to bring my pro cam, lenses and 360cam on my trip or you suggest to travel lite? I want to capture the details of the place in highest resolution as possible as i can. Any tips would be highly appreciated...tia!
I Checked your channel, liked and subscribed. I'm watching your videos.
@@jozac05 thanks buddy ... I guess your trip will be relatively short so I think that these identified points of visit will leave lasting memories. Get I car here ..some cheep rental ...the distances are huge . SA has close to 3000km ( 1800 miles ) of the most breathtaking coastal line which has to be seen ... from scorching Kalahari desert , the most succulent rain forests of Eastern Cape ... the majestic Drakensberg Mountains right to the edge of the African continent down south you will have the opportunity to see the world in one country ! After Kruger park I would suggest a short visit to lake St Lucia in KwaZulu Natal ... there you can see one of the most spectacular biodiversity on this planet . iSimangaliso Wetland Park has been listed as South Africa's first World Heritage Site and if you are nature lover ...photographer or just curious to see large number of crocodiles, hippos, pelicans, flamingos, elephants, giraffes and leopards this is a must visit destination.
If you are planning some backpacking trips ..there is a long list of recommended well maintain places around the coast line along your route towards Western Cape. Is it safe ? ... well ... without been overly optimistic I would not be surprised if you leave the country with a positive impression in this regard. The people here are friendly ... however do not take alone any risky visits to townships especially after dark .. this is Africa after all ! ... having said that, I am absolutely convinced that in these places one can meet the most interesting people ever ...
@@georgeveltchev530 your photos are stunning!
@@CarrieCook hey ...thanks for your visit ...and I have to say I truly enjoyed watching your video :)
Incredible documentary of your trip! I was thinking no way would I go stand by the edge of the falls and right after that I heard "... this is the dumbest thing I've ever done!" 🤣🤣🤣 Incredible footage great job! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! It certainly felt risky being so close to the falls, but (reassuringly) it's been many years since someone went over the edge. I'm a numbers person so the statistics made me feel more comfortable with things.
Thank you for sharing a truly inspiring video of what looks to have been a fabulous adventure for you and your family. I stumbled across your video as we are contemplating a first trip to Africa with our two girls, who would be aged 11 and 9 at the date of travel. I’m nervous about taking a trip like this with them but I’m encouraged by the happy and confident vibe from your children. I am wondering whether you’d be willing to share whether you stopped overnight enroute to Kruger and also back to the airport? Also interested to hear whether you would make any changes to your trip with the benefit of experience? Any tips would be much appreciated. I’m a big planner but am only just starting out with the research. Your video is a fabulous first step so thank you!
Don't be nervous about it - this is a perfect family-friendly destination! We did stop overnight en route to Kruger - we took an early morning flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg, and then drove to Hazyview before dusk. From there, it was about 15-20 minutes to the park gate early the next morning. Heading back to the airport, we stopped in Pilgrim's Rest for the night, which roughly split the drive in half. (I should also say here that we actually did the Panorama Route on our way back from Kruger, rather than on our way to the park, as shown in the video.) Honestly, there isn't anything I can think of that I would change about our trip. I only wish we'd had more time!
Beautifully filmed and experienced and this family is as beautiful as the scenery.
Aw, thanks for your kind comment!
Watching rugby at Spur, that’s proper local.
Where do you think travel is the best?
Hey. This is a great video! We’re heading to Cape Town / Simon’s Town for 2 weeks in April 2020! If I may, I have 2 questions.
1) How was the weather for you? It looked lovely despite it being winter there!
2) Did you feel safe? Since booking our trip our family keep telling us about how unsafe it is. However, with the right precautions and attitude towards it, I think it will be just fine. We’re doing Airb&b throughout with the first 3 nights in seapoint and the last 9 nights in Simon’s Town.
Thank you! Yes, we had amazing weather, and I know we were very lucky in that regard. We were in the Cape Town area from August 14-18, and weather was very pleasant and sunny, with highs in the high teens or low twenties (Celsius). But, when we arrived, we heard that they had just come off of 8 straight days of rain. I would think that if you are there in April, the odds of you having good weather are more favourable than our odds were.
And yes, we did feel very safe. We were quite cautious, and had heard the same stories you have before we left. We stayed in the Victoria & Alfred waterfront area in Cape Town, and felt quite safe walking around there at night. We were also in Simons Town after dark, and felt OK there. We did not take valuables on our township tour, but even there we felt better about our surroundings than we expected to. Not to say that bad things can't happen, but I think if you have heightened awareness and take some basic precautions, there is no reason why you can't go and enjoy yourself. It is a wonderful destination!
@@CarrieCook SA is safer than London and many other places I have been btw...
Great video. How many days did this itinerary take to complete?
Thank you! We spent 12 nights total on the ground.
If wasn’t for corona I would ve been there in April😭😭
I feel for you. If it wasn't for corona, we would be in Brazil this week, too. Hang in there - there are brighter days ahead!!
Same! 😭 but i thoroughly enjoyed this video and I feel at ease.
I enjoyed your video so much, especially the dumbest thing, lol
Wow this is my dream trip! So you did this in August? Been worrying that Cape Town no good then but looks good 👍 thanks
Yes, it was August! So it was winter, and we were prepared for bad weather, but we really lucked out - couldn't have been better.
The devil's pool is the best highlight of this video.Omg!!!!!!! After watching this video to the end ,i can say the whoke video is the highlight.lol..... penguins, driving on the wrong side of the road(even tho i am from Southern Africa ) i get you ,you made me laugh when yo husband thought he was opening the driver's door and oooopppppssss!!!!1 its the passenger side.I think i would be confused if one day i come oversees to find my self driving on the wrong side of the road too.i love your videography style. Your footage isnt shaky and you are a good story teller.The leopard on the tree omg!!!!!!!
Kruger is the place to be .......wow i like ,i like the best vlog everrrrrrrr...I am going to kruger this weekend and i got this video cz i was anxious.Imagine i live in South Africa and i have never been to kruger national park.You Captivated me the whole afternoon i spent it here.
Kruger is beautiful - I hope you had a great trip!
Awesome!!!! Thank you for sharing with us this amazing trip. Where are you guys heading next???? I can’t wait!
Thanks so much! Our next trip will take us to Brazil. Counting down the days!!
@@CarrieCook WOW That is sooo awesome! I’m Brazilian/naturalized American living in US for 17 years. What part of Brazil are you guys visiting? It is super hot there now!
@@claudiamolinaro1010 What a coincidence! We're splitting our time between Rio de Janeiro and Iguassu Falls. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to see any more on this trip.
@@CarrieCook Excellent choice. I’m from Rio! It is a beautiful city with breathtaking landscaping. I would recomend you visit Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor), Sugar Loaf (Pao de Acucar), Bothanical Garden (Jardim Botanico) and Tijuca National Park. Let me know if I can help in any way. Safe travels.
@@claudiamolinaro1010 Thanks so much for the recommendations - we are really looking forward to it! A few of those sights are on our list already - I'll look into the others.
Made me miss my country even more...sigh...where u guys now btw? I am stuck in Davao city...sigh
At home in Ontario, Canada. Unfortunately I think we’ll be stuck here for the foreseeable future.
@@CarrieCook German lawyers getting ready to sue, they may even sue WHO from Canada btw, very interesting...I am stuck in Philippines, sadly this place has been hit hard economically...total mess, wish can get back to ZA soon but seems hard...
very nice trip.. which month did you travel? Any safety concern.. Thank you
We traveled in August and felt very safe the entire time.
Quite an adventurous trip in southern Africa! So close to watch wild animals! Crocodiles, Buffalos, Hippos, Lions, Giraffes, Elephants, etc., feeling dangerous, at the same time, exciting!!! Just wondering how often those wild animals attack humans?
Good question! Luckily, we didn't find out. :)
one of the best vlogs I have seen about South Africa, Victoria falls. great memories for you and your family. i would highly appreciate it if you could let me know the names of the hotels/accommodations where you stayed in Victoria falls and Cape Town. I am now planning a trip based on your video. Lastly, could you please tell me from where did you book the tours (daily tours in Zambia, Botswana and the tours in Cape Town, i.e. the visit of the township)? Thank you and kind regards! keep doing great content
Thank you for your kind words! In Victoria Falls we stayed at the Kingdom Hotel, and in Cape Town we stayed at the Radisson Red V&A Waterfront. At Victoria Falls, we booked the Devil's Pool trip as well as the day trip to Chobe National Park with a tour operator called Shockwave. They also did our transfers to/from the airport. In Cape Town, we arranged the Langa Township tour through Siviwe Tours, and we used Howie's Transport for our airport transfers and our day trip to the Cape. I hope that helps - good luck planning your trip - you will have an amazing time!
Sorry, my mistake - Chad just pointed out to me that we booked the Devil's Pool tour directly through Tongabezi, who are the exclusive tour agent for trips to the Pool. Other tour operators will book the trip for you, but they are all outsourced to Tongabezi in the end.
what companies did you use if any at all? trying to do this trip and not sure where to start. thanks
We don't generally use tour guides, and instead book most of our transport and activities on our own. In Victoria Falls, we did use Shockwave for both our airport transfers and our day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana. And in Cape Town, we used Howie's Transport for our airport transfers as well as our day trip to the Cape of Good Hope. On safari, if you are staying at a lodge inside Kruger, they will handle all your logistics, providing accommodation, food, and your guided game drives. They can also arrange your travel for you, though we chose to drive ourselves from Johannesburg to the park. We use Trip Advisor quite extensively to plan our intineraries, get reviews and recommendations for activities and lodging, etc. The forums there are a great resource if you're looking to plan a trip. Hope that helps!
Great video !! What cameras did you use and how did you keep the dust off of them ?
Thank you! Shot on a Canon 77D, GoPro Hero 7 Black and iPhone 6. I had some lens tissue on hand but dust was not really a significant problem.
Hi amazing video. Did you book this as a package and if so where. Thanks
Thank you! No, it was not a package, we built our own itinerary and booked it ourselves.
You saw a honey badger….even better than lion
Great fun, thank you all 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for watching!
How much was the total cost for a family trip,
Great video, Carrie! I enjoy your videos. You mentioned that you took this trip in August. If you don't mind me asking, did you guys visit in early, mid, or late August? We have targeted Cape Town as our next family trip for early August, but the Mrs. is somewhat hesitant to go at that time due to it still being winter that time of year. How cool was it during the time you were there?
Thanks so much! We were in the Cape Town area specifically from August 14-17. Our daytime high temps were probably in the 15-20 degrees C range, and overnight down to maybe 10-12 degrees C. We were lucky to get some really nice clear weather while we were there which is not always the case at that time of year, but just goes to show that you never know what you will get! Good luck with your trip.
fun fact 1. cape of good hope is where the continent of africa starts
How do ppl live in Cape Town and not get distracted with all that beauty
Agree 100%! Cape Town is the most beautiful city I've ever seen.
Beautiful! I want to go next year but I don't know where to begin the planning process. Do you have any tips? Was it all done through a travel agency? Thanks! :)
Hi there, we didn't use a travel agency for our trip - we planned it ourselves. If you are thinking about doing something similar, my best tip would be to check out what itineraries the package tours offer. What sites do they visit? How much time do they allow for transportation between them, and what type of transportation do they use? How long do they stay in each place? Typically they do a good job of including the top attractions in each location, but you can also choose to leave out things you aren't interested in and use that time to see something else instead. This will allow you to start constructing a high level itinerary for yourself. Next I would focus on the transportation, to make sure that you can actually follow your itinerary - make sure there are options for flights/trains/etc. on the days you need them. Accommodations come next, because you can generally find a place to stay when you need to. However - if you are thinking about a safari in Kruger National Park, you might want to look into accommodations there sooner rather than later, as I think they book up well in advance and might be a limiting factor. Good luck!!
@@CarrieCook Wow! This was incredibly helpful. Thank you SO much!!!
Great Vlog, Is South Africa as dangerous as they say it is? I'm actually vlogging in Asia right now... But I'm thinking about taking a Trip to South Africa..
Hey, I'm from South Africa. I don't think it's as dangerous as people say it is if you're just a little vigilant. I would also just be careful where I go, for example, I wouldn't go to Johannesburg CBD, but most the touristy type places are more than safe. Hope that helps.
We were cautious, having heard the same sorts of anecdotes about safety there - but we never felt unsafe while on our trip. We made sure to stick to well-populated areas and were never out late at night.
I am in Philippines now, and compared to South Africa it is not particularly safe here or other countries like Thailand is not safe either...so just don't worry , you are already in dangerous places when you travel in Asia buddy...
@CarrieCook Absolutely wonderful Carrie! Absolutely Gorgeous :)
Thank You so much for sharing such precious moments with us. Would you go back?
New Sub
God Bless and much Love
from Canada
Many thanks! Would I go back - without a doubt. It's hard to pick a favourite trip that I have been on, but I would have to say South Africa in particular is the most beautiful place I have visited.
Did you book everything through a travel agency?
No, we put it all together ourselves.
@@CarrieCook great job! Each destination looked so fun!
