Luxury South Africa holidays designed to thrill

The iconic Table Mountain is a spectacular backdrop to the city of Cape Town and a MUST to visit as the views are absolutely breathtaking from the cable car on the ascent to the top! Cape Town is the capital city of the Western Cape and offers a wealth of adventures.

A safari in South Africa is a popular choice for families as the region boasts malaria-free game reserves, Madikwe is regarded as one of the best conservation areas in Africa. Close to the border with Botswana and the Kalahari Desert you are likely to encounter not only the Big Five but also hyenas and jackals.

South Africa boasts a range of family-friendly activities to keep the children entertained from meeting penguins, treetop walks, and learning about the natural world and habitats first hand. 

Ready to walk on the wildside?

  • Self-drive holidays along the Garden Route, Panorama Route, and the Peninsula Route all offer superb views of the incredibly beautiful landscape
  • Big Five safari (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and elephant) in Kruger, the malaria-free Eastern Cape, and Madikwe
