African Family Holiday Destinations

Planning a family holiday to Africa and know where you want to go?

This is the right place for you because we've done a whole lot of research based on past experience, conducted a thorough investigation of the places in question and we've come up with the best African destinations for families.

South Africa has great malaria-free Big Game resorts - check out our Madikwe Game Reserve Family Holidays and Eastern Cape Family Holidays while the diverse parks of KwaZulu-Natal are packed with wildlife and are aching to teach your family about the African bush.

Go wild in the naturalist's paradise of the Kruger National Park or Victoria Falls - where the views are guaranteed to keep even the most talkative child quiet - for a bit.

We've got world-class resorts for you and your family if fun in the sun is what you're after: Sun City in South Africa has been getting family holiday fun right for years, and the Garden Route offers sun-drenched beaches, top accommodation and tons of stuff to do in the Western Cape.

Why not combine these destinations with a dose of city life in South Africa's Mother City - Cape Town - where there's plenty to do and see for the whole family.

Further afield we've got exciting countries waiting for you: many safari lodges in Kenya, Namibia and Zambia have been designed with families in mind; some pristine beach resorts in Mauritius specialise in family holidays and just you try to get your kids out of the clear, warm waters of Malawi and Mozambique.

These African family holiday destinations have been tried-and-tested and have seen countless families experience the holiday of a lifetime - see if your ideas coincide with our recommendations. If they don't, contact us for more information and advice and let's see what we can do for you or check out our Luxury Family Holidays in Africa for a little luxurious inspiration.
