Fri, 06 Mar 2015 15:12:44 +0000/?p=274#comment-416I would love to touch base – I do know a few people in SA already but not with similar aged children. I can’t see an email address for you – if you message me at [email protected] I will email back. I am sure I will have a few questions, thank you!

Fri, 06 Mar 2015 14:08:38 +0000/?p=274#comment-415We are enjoying Johannesburg – the lifestyle, the weather, the help in the house, beautiful South Africa on your doorstep, and we have all become so passionate about the wildlife and the bush since moving here. The biggest downside is the education, which is significantly behind the UK system (due largely to the fact they start teaching children to read and write in the year they are turning 7, rather than the year they turn 5), but the curriculum is also much more basic. Please feel free to email me if you would like to know anything specific about moving to SA!

Mon, 16 Feb 2015 05:21:14 +0000/?p=274#comment-254Clara, thank you for this review. We are an English family currently on an expat assignment in Johannesburg (we have been here two years). I went straight out to buy the The White Giraffe and Dolphin Song for my 8 year old daughter after your post last week, and she (and I) are both really enjoying it. She was so excited when I told her it was about a girl moving from England to South Africa, just what she did two years ago!
