South Africa Family Holidays

Anyone who has been to South Africa will tell you it is unequivocally one of the greatest countries in the world in which to holiday with your family. Where else can you combine safari and beach so effortlessly, indulge in superb food and wine, relax in ultra-modern hotels and still give your children a lifetime of cultural and wildlife experiences all wrapped up in in a week or two of adventure. With malaria-free safari parks, first-world infrastructure, night flights from the UK and, let’s face it, a major consideration when travelling with children, no jet lag, South Africa tops our list for a family holiday in this intoxicating continent.

You will find highly imaginative activities designed to captivate and enthral young minds wherever you go. Without question, this will be the family holiday of a lifetime. Young taste buds will come alive in Cape Town, Le Quartier Francais and Babylonstoren in the heart of the famous Winelands while Mum and Dad indulge in some of the Southern Hemisphere’s finest before you all leave the urban sophistication behind for the thrill of the game reserves. As if spotting rhino, elephant, lion, buffalo and leopard isn’t wildly exciting enough, the addition of junior ranger programmes, survival training and safari by horseback brings a riveting new dimension to a journey that will leave you all with unforgettable memories along with a rich understanding of local traditions and an enduring respect for the environment.
