Family Travel in South Africa

South Africa is one of our favourite places to travel with kids. It’s vast with an incredible variety of landscapes from the sun-soaked white sandy beaches of Cape Town overlooked by Table Mountain. The soaring peaks of the lush green wine regions (with their wine tasting offerings!). The rugged cliffs and valleys of the Drakensberg and the dry desert landscapes of the Karoo.

It’s also home to some of the best wildlife in Africa with many family safari options on offer. You’ll be able to spot the Big (or Little) 5. Simply put, there’s just so much to see and do in South Africa with kids.

There’s also a fabulous selection of family-friendly accommodation in Cape Town as well as safari accommodation for families.

With overnight flights from the UK and a 2-hour time difference meaning minimal jet-lag, it’s definitely a firm favourite with many families.
