Africa Family Travel

Africa may not immediately spring to mind when you think of family travel, but with 54 countries in the continent, there’s definitely something for everyone.

If you’re looking for a beach destination not too far from the UK with year-round sunshine, Cape Verde has you covered.

If you want family-friendly safaris, you can’t get better than South Africa and Namibia but there are lots of amazing places in Africa to go on safari.

Morocco is easy to get to and yet culturally it is worlds apart from the UK and an assault on the senses, in a good way!

And, of course, you can’t be Egypt with its fascinating history and archaeology.

Africa is quite possibly our favourite continent.
