Family holidays in South Africa

Family holidays are a great way to break away from the household routine and recapture a sense of adventure while collecting many wonderful memories that are sure to be cherished for years to come.



A family holiday in South Africa is ideal. South Africa is known for its excellent weather, breathtaking scenery, wide variety of activities, excellent road infrastructure for self-drives holidays and its diverse wildlife. It is a child-friendly country with many getaways offering excellent facilities for children and well-priced accommodation to suit your budget.



Introduce your family to the Big Five



South Africa’s safari lodges take you on a true bush adventure with exciting thrills for the whole family and quality accommodation and unique wildlife experiences wherever your family holiday in South Africa takes you. Game drives, bush walks, pioneer-style plains camps make safari lodges like the Rhino Post Safari Lodge an ideal adventure location for the family.



Another great advantage of a family safari holiday in South Africa is that the country boasts many Big Five game reserves in malaria-free areas. The beautiful reserves of the Eastern Cape and Madikwe in the country’s North West Province present a number of outstanding game-viewing opportunities without the risk of malaria.



Build sand castles on SA’s beautiful beaches



The beach holiday is a firm favourite of children everywhere and a great way for parents to relax and maybe work on that tan. South

East Coast beach accommodations, like Diaz 15 House on the Bay in

This style off accommodation offers a traditional holiday home experience where you can enjoy a barbeque while watching whales and dolphins at play or take dip on the pooldeck in a rim-flow pool overlooking the beach.
