It’s family fun under the African sun on this 10-day Southern Africa safari!
Kicking off in Cape Town, the Mother City promises to keep everyone in the family smiling. Explore the city’s famous attractions such as Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront and Cape Point. Off the tourist-track, your family adventure will take you paddling with penguins, shark watching (from a safe distance!) and into the West Coast to visit the quaint town of Darling.
Next, you’ll head to the Kruger National Park for a Big Five safari. Your family-friendly accommodation at Ulusaba Rock Lodge is situated on a hilltop, offering uninterrupted views of the South African bushveld. Enjoy thrilling wildlife encounters on daily game drives, bush walks, or hang out together at the sparkling pool. Wildlife roams freely here, so you may get lucky and watch the Big Five from the privacy of your own room! From the Kruger Park, you’ll fly to Benguerra Island in Mozambique to spend a few days on an unspoilt island featuring deserted beaches of pure white sand, sparkling turquoise seas, sunny days and star-studded nights.
