Our favourite family vacations in Africa

Introduce your children to the wonders of Africa by taking them on a luxury family vacation. Together, you can admire the continent’s diverse flora and fauna, explore its varied landscapes and understand the native way of life.

Many safari operators and lodges now offer activities and accommodation designed for younger guests, complete with rigorous safety standards, so you can relax and enjoy your vacation.

Teach them about the annual wildebeest migration by witnessing it first hand in Tanzania; and install in them a sense of conservation by visiting wildlife sanctuaries in Zimbabwe.

In South Africa, explore Cape Town and say hi to the penguins at Boulders Beach. Stay at the Ant’s Nest, where the children can try horse riding and go on guided bug walks and safari tours. At the Lelapa lodge, kids are kept busy with pizza making during the day, and campfire story telling and star gazing at night.
