South Africa is such a family-friendly destination, it has sunny weather, stunning scenery, excellent value family accommodation, a huge variety of activities, excellent road infrastructure and of course the famous wildlife. This itinerary ticks all those boxes and more, allowing you and your family to explore this fascinating part of the country in a leisurely and laid back fashion. Travel along the beautiful Cape coast taking in the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, with its many attractions, the scenic winelands, with a surprising number of child-friendly activities, and the famous Garden Route which is jam-packed with things to do, from hiking and kayaking to boat tours and elephant interactions.
