Kayla and Hugo are into their off-road motor cross, so the family often goes along to watch them on weekends. Otherwise, they enjoy spending time at home - they have a bit of a zoo at home with snakes, dogs and chinchillas, and the kids love it!

Are you wondering what to do with the kids? Manta Travel Services has been creating some eventful travels for clients. Here are some ideas to fill that void and solve the question of what when and how?

Jozi • How about a weekend fishing in the Vaal?

It’s the new hotspot.

• Bungee/base jumping in Soweto.

• Drive to the cradle of humankind by Morapeng. Make this a day out with the family with lots of exciting activities and events; from petting zoos to riding horses and cycling in absolute isolation.

• Drive a little further and you can end up in Sun City and Pilanesberg. Spend a weekend at a local resort and explore the rich wildlife and events the province has to offer; from butterfly farms to game drives.

HOST A LADIES NIGHT WITH

KZN Coast: • Spend the day at the beach.

• Take a drive down to the South Coast.

Spend an entire day wandering from town to town and enjoy the cafes and shops, and of course the beautiful beaches.

• Go horseback riding on the beach.

• Play Putt-Putt on the beach • Visit Sun Coast Casino or Sibaya Casino for entertainment for the entire family.

These are just some ideas Manta Travel Services has for your holidays. Remember; it’s not what you buy for the kids, it’s what they experience. So give them a holiday with a difference!

Chateau Gateaux

Chateau Gateaux Goes Green This year has been a big one for Chateau Gateaux – not only are they celebrating their 20th year, but they have also launched exciting new products such as their Chocolate Nostalgia, Baked Chocolate Cheesecake and Boston Brownie, plus they have an exciting new announcement! Chateau Gateaux has spent years working on a more eco-friendly box for their 24cm cakes, and finally they are proud to announce the launch of their new cardboard packaging! Up until now, they have used polystyrene packaging for their 24cm cakes and cases of individuals – mainly because it was the only product that could insulate the products sufficiently for long periods while being transported, and because of its strength. After years of brainstorming and countless tests, they finally managed to produce a cardboard equivalent that is even stronger and has good insulating properties!

many tests. The polystyrene had so many benefits and they had to surpass that. So it took two and a half years to develop, but it was worth it!

Malcolm explained that it was hard to know where to start when they decided to go green, so they decided to start with their most “ecologically offensive” product, the polystyrene. They are also working on finding eco-friendly straws, so watch this space!

The new box features double insulation and a coating that makes it waterproof, it is food friendly and recyclable. The double bottom provides added insulation and it is specially designed to stop air getting in. All these features are essential as these cakes are transported great distances and the cakes need to remain fresh. The box went through eight months of testing to ensure that all According to Malcolm Lyle, a director and these claims are true! co-owner of Chateau Gateaux, they first launched the 18cm box in cardboard when “Most organisations see the packaging they launched the cakes into stores as they problem as too big to fix, so they do nothing. needed a cheaper and greener option.

LOOKING AFTER OUR ENVIRONMENT

In the interests of caring for the environment, Château Gâteaux has commenced a programme to eliminate as many environmentally damaging packaging material elements as is possible and practical.

Eliminating polystyrene was the obvious first task given the large quantities used in packaging our products.

All polystyrene has now been replaced with 100% recyclable and biodegradable materials.

Our new packaging has been designed and tested to deliver the equivalent insulation and protective properties of polystyrene.

A large variety of books will keep your child interested in books and learning for longer. The Disney Book Club is a cost-effective way to collect all the classic stories such as Lion King, to the latest movie releases such as Moana.
