trip with a 3 y.o to South Africa

We are going to South Africa with a 3 year old in the
summer. Have you got any tips to give us concerning what is
great for a child there as well as what should or should not
be done.Thanks

   Cape Town is fantastic. You must go to Boulders Beach and
   see the Penguins. We went when our son was 2.5 and he
   still talks about it a year later.
   The aquarium and the whole water front area is great for
   kids.
   Driving is slow and somewhat tedious with kids, take some
   tapes for the car.
   It was fantastic just to see the things that he enjoyed,
   which wern't necessarily the things we would have
   expected. Enjoy.

   I have two kids 3 and 7. Every year we travel in SA during
   July and August. Instead of staying in hotels there is
   plenty of serviced high tsandard sekf catering facilities
   which leave much more freedom with the kids. Karos Lodge
   near Kruger has cottages with 2 bedrooms.
   Mind that some hotels do categoricly refuse children below
   12/ which I find terrible!
