Family Vacation to South Africa
This popular South Africa family trip combines a stay in Cape Town with some beach time in Durban and ends on a high at Phinda Private Game Reserve for a family-friendly, Big 5 safari. Suitable at any time of year, the 3 individual elements of city, beach, and safari, all combine to ensure an action-packed, memorable family holiday.
The luxury accommodation included in the itinerary has been carefully chosen with children in mind. The hotels and lodges all offer family rooms, kids' clubs, and dining options. Phinda Mountain Lodge also offers the Wild Child Programme, a child-friendly safari experience designed to teach your children more about the animals and environment in a fun-filled way. A private guide and safari vehicle is also included.
