Kate on Safari was born from our life in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where the Big 5 roam, the wetlands teem with life, and every morning brings something worth wondering at.
I believe Africa is the greatest classroom on earth. And I created this space to share what it teaches – with families everywhere who want to raise children who are curious, compassionate, and deeply connected to the wild world.
