Why take the family to South Africa?
Spectacular scenery, world-class food and wine and great value for money.

- A family-friendly Kruger lodge or private reserve
- Wildlife parks, aquariums and the V&A Waterfront
- Garden Route coastal stops with children's activities
Where to stay with children
- Cape Town. Table Mountain, beaches, wine country and the Cape Peninsula. Best for first-time visitors and city lovers.
- Winelands (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek). Wine estates, gourmet food and scenic drives close to Cape Town.
- Garden Route. A coastal drive with forests, lagoons and beaches, usually done as a self-drive trip.
- Kruger and surrounding reserves. One of Africa's best safari areas. Best for a big-five safari add-on.
- Johannesburg. Apartheid Museum, Soweto and shopping. Best for a short stay or connection.
When to go with kids
For Cape Town, November to March is summer and the warmest, driest time. For safari in Kruger, May to September is the dry season, when wildlife is easiest to see. Spring and autumn (September to October and March to April) are often the best compromise.
Tips for families
- Choose a hotel with family rooms and a kids' club if you want some downtime
- Plan one main activity a day, with rest time built in
- Ask us about child prices and flight baggage for your children's ages
- Children need their own passports, and we confirm entry rules for the whole family
