Jane says: "Visit the Elephant Hall at Letaba Camp in the Kruger National Park. Download a worksheet from the Sanparks website before going. Very informative and interactive for kids of all ages."

Perry's Bridge Reptile Park
Located at Hazyview, this park is dedicated to the conservation of reptiles. Discover the mystery of snakes and other creepies and their essential role in the ecology. Family or group outings can be arranged.

Pilgrim's Rest Historical Village
Although the town is now very touristy, it is still very picturesque. There are a number of museums to visit and a short distance outside the town you can do gold panning (for gold dust) in the river. Get tickets for all of the above at the tourist information centre in the village.
