Family Adventures on a South Africa Safari

Spending Time with Family on a South Africa Safari

Taking the family on a South Africa safari is one of the best options if you’re looking for a malaria-free safari. The country is blessed with a great variety of malaria free reserves and this doesn’t mean compromising on big game viewing either. This part of Africa has an excellent array of wildlife and if you visit one of the private reserves adjacent to the Kruger or in the Waterberg or the Eastern Cape, you are guaranteed sightings of the Big 5; lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo. A South Africa safari offers families a tremendous experience with the very best in big game viewing, beautiful scenery, luxury accommodation and excellent food. South Africa is unique in that it offers families not only a great safari experience but a variety of destinations including Cape Town, the Cape Winelands and the Garden Route. Accommodation in Southern Africa is world class so your family can expect to be spoiled with ultimate comfort and fine dining.

Whale Watching with the Family

Every year between June and November thousands of whales migrate to the coastal waters of South Africa to calve and nurse their young. Taking the family to see these amazing creatures is the perfect way to conclude a South Africa safari. The beautiful and unspoilt Garden Route coastline stretches for over a thousand miles from Cape Town to the picturesque town of Port Elizabeth and it can be arranged for you and your family to take a self-drive trip or a boat to see large numbers of whale. Getting up close to a whale is an unforgettable and exhilarating experience for all the family, especially the children. The whales are actually very friendly and will often come within 5 metres if you’re travelling by boat. The whale watching region is also populated with large numbers of dolphin, cape fur seals, penguins and great white sharks.

Visiting the Kruger National Park on a South Africa Safari

The iconic Kruger National Park in Southern Africa has a vast landscape with spectacular African wildlife that fills it. A safari here is ideal for families who want to be sure they see the Big 5 game while being surrounded by luxury and comfort. The reserves surrounding the Kruger have very few tourists so families can enjoy private game drives all to themselves. The Kruger is one of Africa’s largest reserves covering an area of 19,000 square kilometres. As well as the Big 5, your family will be in the presence of elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, leopard and cheetah.

Popular Activities for People on Group Vacations

Cape Town is a wonderful city with plenty of places to visit and loads of activities to do. Some popular activities include wine tasting, shark cage diving, abseiling, and hiking. Read further to know about the different activities that can be undertaken as a group:

• Hiking: Needless to say, this is the most popular activity among tourists and locals. The Table Mountain offers the best opportunity to understand and learn more about the unique fynbos vegetation, bird life, and the natural history of the place. In fact, the Cape Floral region is known to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Tourists can choose from one of the many hiking trails including Silvermine Nature Reserve, Kalk Bay Caves, Elsies Peak, and Chapman’s Peak.

• Wine tasting: More than 300 years ago, the Dutch laid the foundations for several wine estates that dot the Table Mountain slopes. Today these vineyards are a major tourist attraction, with many hotels in Cape Town holding wine and dinner evenings where wine connoisseurs across the world are invited for an evening of wine tasting. Tourists can take part in these wine tasting sessions and learn more about the wines that are unique to the place. While there are plenty of wine estates, the most popular among them include the Steenberg Wine Estate, Constantia Uitsig, and the Groot Constantia Estate. You can taste and buy wines directly from the cellar, or choose to buy souvenirs and gifts from the gift shops located nearby.

• Quad Biking: Quad biking is a wonderful activity that can be enjoyed as a group. There are several companies that offer quad bike tours along the Elgin Valley, and the Ruwami Private Nature Reserve near Hermanus. You can also go on nature discovery tours where a qualified field guide takes you on an educational tour about the environment around them. Although these quad bikes are comfortable for beginners to ride, you still need to ensure that the company that you choose, places priority on safety.
