A family adventure in South Africa
11 nights from £10,995 for a family of 4
-
Safari experiences sit at the centre of the journey, with multiple opportunities to spot wildlife across some of southern Africa’s best-known reserves. In Kruger National Park, full-day game drives and overland safaris bring the chance to see elephants, lions, giraffes, and rhino in their natural environment, while sunset safaris in Hlane Royal National Park add a completely different atmosphere as the landscape changes colour towards evening.
-
The trip also includes far more active experiences than a typical safari itinerary, making it especially good for teenagers. One day could mean kayaking through the waterways of Kosi Bay, while another brings cycling through Soweto with local guides or travelling by 4WD through rugged safari terrain. The pace stays varied throughout, balancing wildlife with adventure and cultural experiences that keep every day feeling different.
-
Some of the most memorable moments come away from the game parks themselves. Staying in a Phiring Village homestay gives families the chance to spend time with local communities and experience everyday life in a completely different setting. Elsewhere, the spectacular Panorama Route, including the Three Rondavels and Bourke’s Luck Potholes, brings dramatic scenery that feels every bit as impressive as the wildlife encounters.
-
Accommodation throughout the trip adds to the adventure itself, combining hotels, safari lodges, camping, resorts, and a village homestay across the journey. Travelling by overland truck and safari vehicles keeps the experience feeling active and immersive rather than overly polished, while included meals and guided experiences throughout make it much easier to focus on the adventure rather than the logistics.
