The Family Cape Town and Zimbabwe Adventure Vacation

Inspirational safari family holiday to Zimbabwe and South Africa

This family adventure combines a family-friendly safari in Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park with a stay at the memorable Victoria Falls and the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa. Cape Town is the perfect city for children with a host of activities to keep the whole family entertained, from seeing penguins at Boulders Beach to heading up Table Mountain in a cable car. The fun continues at Victoria Falls with an endless choice of adventures including boat cruises along the Zambezi River where the children can be on the lookout for hippos and crocs. 

Saving the best for last, you will stay in a tented camp in the middle of the wildlife-rich Hwange National Park, famous for its huge herds of buffalo and elephant. Both you and the children will be constantly entertained by the many encounters with the animals around the camp and on game drives. The memories will last a lifetime and the children will be begging to return. Also included is a private safari vehicle and private guide for the duration of your safari in Hwange.
