South Africa Itineraries
South Africa is a really fantastic country for families with a great mix of safari, activities and beaches – at more accessible prices than other destinations in Africa. Being a vast country, with opposing seasons to Europe, it is sometimes difficult to know where to start – which is where we come in! Our most popular trip, the Classic Cape & Garden Route, follows a malaria-free route along the coast from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, with a great variety of wildlife and adventure activities available along the way. Best suited October-April.
Our Kruger & Beach Family Safari starts in the north, with the world-famous Kruger National Park, before heading south through Eswatini (Swaziland) and into KwaZulu-Natal to Durban. This itinerary is suitable all year round. Note that Kruger is in a malarial region.
There is some wonderful accommodation in South Africa, including some really fabulous luxury game lodges and beach hotels. Our KwaZulu-Natal and Eswatini (Luxury) itinerary showcases some of our favourites and offers a winning combination of safari and beach.

Our South Africa itineraries are usually based on self-drive, offering the ultimate flexibility. The route will be tailor-made to your family’s exact requirements. Want more time at the beach? Just let us know. Looking to combine Cape Town with Kruger? No problem. Or perhaps push the boat out and add on a visit to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe for the ultimate southern Africa experience. As soon as you are ready to talk to someone with first-hand knowledge, do get in touch.
