TRAVEL | FAMILY FUN
Papachinos Continental Cafés If you’re looking for the opportunity to eat out with the children, Joburg has many options. Especially if both mom and dad want to enjoy a meal at the same time. One such place is pizzeria Papachinos, which boasts well-set-up play areas, plus child-minders. Yes, people who will actually watch your children while you have a bite to eat (that luxurious pastime). They’ve got five branches around Jozi. www.papachinos.co.za
The Lion Park
The Zoo
Looking for something more adventurous? Then the Lion Park is for you. This exciting ecotourism park focuses on the regeneration of threatened species, especially wild dog, cheetah and the very rare white lion. It’s neither a game reserve nor a zoo, but animals are sectioned off in spacious zones. You can either view them with a self-drive option (don’t let your little ones hang out the windows, though), or you can arrange to go on a game drive. 011 691 9905 www.lion-park.com
Remember the magic of going to the zoo for the first time? If it’s a fun and educational family outing you’re after, head back there. Over 100 years old, the Johannesburg Zoo is still as relevant. You can see more than 320 animal species, including some very rare, endangered ones. You can go behind the scenes to see how the zoo works, or you could venture into the night and meet nocturnal creatures. If you’re really brave, take your tent and do the zoo. 011 646 2000 www.jhbzoo.org.za

You can’t choose your family. Unless you’re adopting, of course, in which case you can.
