Written by Jeanne Bonnema and Emma Cleworth, Kids’ Cape Town guidebook and activities provides an interactive and engaging experience for children aged 6-10, transforming family visits to the city’s most iconic landmarks into exciting, learning adventures.
The guidebook features full-colour illustrations and over 40 child-focused activities, including puzzles, mazes, crosswords, secret codes and spot-the-difference, centred on the city’s must-see destinations such as Table Mountain, Boulders Beach, Cape Point and the V&A Waterfront. It also offers practical advice for families, with tips on what to pack and what to expect at each location, ensuring parents can navigate their explorations with ease.
“We wanted to create a resource that makes learning about Cape Town a joy, not a chore,” says Bonnema, a registered tour guide and seasoned travel writer.
“This guide is packed with interesting facts and interactive challenges that will spark a child’s curiosity and ensure that they, together with their parents, have a truly memorable experience in the Mother City.”
Co-author Cleworth added, “As a parent myself, I know the importance of keeping children engaged and entertained while travelling. We’ve designed this book to be a constant companion for families, bringing the magic of Cape Town to life through fun, hands-on activities.”
Featuring six chapters, including Cape Point and Table Mountain, the guidebook can complement your family tour packages. Hotels offering the guidebook as a quality complimentary gift have found that it enhances guest satisfaction and encourages positive reviews and also provides an additional revenue opportunity if sold at reception.
Kids’ Cape Town guidebook and activities is available for purchase from online retailers (Takealot, Loot, Amazon ZA) and local bookstores (Wordsworth Books, The Write Shoppe, Bargain Books and Exclusive Books). Suggested retail price is R170.
