Family holidays in South Africa

South Africa is an awesome African introduction for travellers of all ages. Its modern, cosmopolitan cities, great roads and accessibility make travel safe and easy, while the jumble of cultures and languages, variety of landscapes and superb wildlife still give a wonderful glimpse into the richness of Africa. The Garden Route is ideally situated for family holidays in South Africa – with plenty of places to stop, eat and sleep, and interactive activities – and no need for antimalarials.
