South Africa Family Adventure Safari

World-class wildlife, stunning scenery, local culture, delectable food and comfortable lodgings set the perfect stage for your South Africa Family Safari. Set out on guided bush walks, horse rides, cycling adventures and game drives and get up-close with wildlife in South Africa's safe and secluded private wildlife reserves. Whether spotting an elephant, rhino, giraffe or lion for the first time or telling stories around a bonfire at the end of an exciting day, exploring South Africa's game reserves is fun and exciting for all ages.

Home-base for the remainder of your trip is Cape Town, a city nestled amongst beautiful beaches and lush mountain scenery. Hike to a city lookout, swim with a resident penguin colony, befriend the local school children and visit an artisan craft workshop. Learn about great white sharks, glass blowing and bread baking, take a wine and cheese tour through a mountain valley and wet your feet in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans – in the same day!
