“Safari with a baby was actually not hard,” Ally shared. “I could wear him in the BabyBjörn facing forward, and every time we went on safari I’d give him a bottle and he’d fall asleep when the vehicle started moving. Then, whenever we stopped quietly to see the animals, he’d wake up and take everything in: the grass, the fields, the beautiful skies… You could see how intrigued he was. He would take it all in and smile.”
She also praised the lodge’s thoughtful family-friendly touches: “Not only did Royal Madikwe have a baby crib and bath in the room, they also prepared fresh baby food like puréed cauliflower and butternut squash. Depending on your baby’s age or what you request, they had everything ready at mealtimes and I thought that was just so helpful.”
Ally’s time in the bushveld was certainly filled with plentiful wildlife sightings and meaningful moments with friends and family: a fitting finale to an itinerary designed to showcase the very best of South Africa. We were honoured to form part of this special journey and look forward to welcoming Ally and her loved ones back to the wild again someday!
