Making maths fun to learn is the aim of an innovative new project, writes Sharon van Wyk.

Every traveller has a special place, somewhere he or she keeps going back to and can never get enough of. For me that place has always been the Kruger National Park. And although I've stayed in a number of camps, and loved most of them, I have finally found my "home" in the Kruger, where I could happily spend eternity.

To some it's a desolate and forbidding landscape, but for others the Ai-Ais/Richtersveld National Park is the epitome of beauty. Jointly managed by South African National Parks and the local Nama people, the park is part of a transfrontier conservation area which spans the Northern Cape and southern Namibia.

The phrase 'Destination Durbanville' doesn't exactly set ones travel taste buds tingling - and a visit to Cape Town North hardly registers on the 'must-do' list. But once the outrageous cost of accommodation in the Mother City has set your wallet shivering, the prospects for both look brighter.
