A family trip that combines 3 vastly different regions of South Africa. See the beautiful city of Cape Town, experience the unique Sun City and its family-friendly activities, and end on a malaria-free safari. Here the family will get up close and personal with the animals on game drives, horse rides and walks.
Starting in Cape Town you'll have plenty of time to visit the penguins of Boulders Bay, Cape Point and of course Table Mountain, all from the conveniently located Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront. After Cape Town the family will travel to the iconic Sun City, north of Johannesburg, and stay at the luxurious and entirely unique Palace of the Lost City. Sun City offers great kid's clubs, playgrounds, sports, arcade games, movies, fabulous wildlife encounters, as well as endless fun at the Valley of Waves and Waterworld. You'll follow Sun City with 3 nights on an exciting safari at Ant's Hill Lodge in a private reserve in the Waterberg area of South Africa. It is the definition of family-friendly with free babysitting services allowing you to have dinner in adult company every night, children's meals, and a very flexible activity schedule to accommodate children of all ages and interests. Activities include activities such as horse-riding alongside giraffe, zebra and other animals, fishing, guided walks, archery, rhino tracking and bug and spoor walks.
