Eastern Cape Family Holidays

View all other African Family Holiday Destinations

Consider the role that lions, elephants, leopards and hippos play in your children's stories, drawings and toy cupboards - and then you'll understand why not much else can quite beat the look on a child's face when they see one of Africa's big mammals for the first time, up close and in the African wilderness.

One small snag: many of Africa's Big Game destinations lie in malarial zones - and although the chances of contracting the disease are slim (and seasonally dependent as well) many people just don't want to take the risk.

The good news is that you don't have to sit in a line of traffic at the local safari park; South Africa's Eastern Cape has transformed itself into a world-class destination for malaria-free African Big Game safaris, and boasts exquisite reserves where the big furry creatures roam in their natural habitat - and we've put together some cracking Eastern Cape family holidays.

It's a learning environment too. The Eastern Cape reserves have established themselves among the industry's leaders in creating an interactive approach to African nature and its conservation.

It's a win-win situation: firstly, the wildlife is superb, the climate agreeable and the scenery entrancing. Then consider that Eastern Cape family holidays can easily be combined with a stay in Cape Town or a bucket-and-spade holiday on the Garden Route.

Finally, throw in well-run lodges that more often than not specialise in family holidays with bucket-loads of kids' activities and with Eastern Cape family holidays you've got a mix that's quite frankly pretty unbeatable.
