Explore Camps Bay
No, I’m not suggesting you take your little one for a swim in the heart of winter. What I am saying is that you let your baby revel in the sand. Collecting sea shells and sea pebbles is like discovering diamonds to your kid! Take a bucket and spade… maybe they can bury the dog.

Kicking it at the West Coast Ostrich Ranch
You’ll appreciate the pleasant drive through the Boland wheat lands. What’s cool is that guides meet you at the entrance. It’s here that you decide whether to do the tour or just feed the ostriches!
If you opt for the tour, you’ll be rewarded with an informative but fun one. You’ll discover everything from the size of their brains to why it is that they stick their heads in the ground!
I was surprised to discover that there are two varieties of ostriches, namely the dwarf and albinos. Another uncanny fact is that it’s a relative of the emus and rheas. Your toddler will no doubt be wowed by any sight of this giant bird.
Adults pay R32 and children under six are free.
