Inspirational safari & beach family holiday to South Africa and Mauritius
A family holiday of a lifetime, including a city break in Cape Town, a Big 5, child-friendly safari in the Kruger Park, and a beach break on the island of Mauritius. The memory creation begins in the spectacular city of Cape Town, staying at the brilliantly located Radisson Collection Hotel, Waterfront. The city is packed full of exciting activities for families of all ages, including trips in a cable car up Table Mountain and seeing penguins at Boulder's Beach. Yet more adventure awaits at Ngala Safari Lodge in the Greater Kruger Park.
The children can join you on extraordinary Big 5 game drives or they can be thoroughly entertained on Ngala's Wild Child programme where they will get up to all manner of exciting adventures from learning all about wild animals to collecting insects and fishing to participating in the interactive kitchen. The final part of this memorable family holiday is 6 nights spent on the beautiful island of Mauritius at the St Regis Le Morne Resort. Enjoy building sandcastles on the beach, water sports with the kids, and much-needed adult time while the children are thoroughly entertained in the excellent Kid's Club.
