At The Telegraph it’s Africa week with some budget-busters: a safari in Zambia and elephant watching in Kenya.
At The Times it’s a more frugal week with Caitlin Moran and family narrowboating in The Midlands.
Still on a family theme there is a lukewarm article on break-dancing courses for teenagers at Sani. In what must have been a nightmare for ITC Classics, who organised the piece, as apart from a Russian girl, the only children on the course belonged to the writer. Fair play to Sani for trying something different for teenagers, but I’m not sure this is the answer. Also, it’s the classic Catch-22; you want to give it publicity to get numbers up, but without numbers it’s hard to write a glowing piece.
Elsewhere, following the water and families theme, The Times has a family houseboat trip off Venice and a fairly dull piece by a 16 year-old sans parents in Venice.
