Overview

This classic route through northern South Africa takes you and your family on a 2-week tour seeing some of the world’s finest game reserves, spectacular scenery as well as activities including boat trips along the coast and walks in the dramatic Drakensberg Mountains. Starting in Johannesburg we meet our specialist guide and drive along the Panorama route past Blyde River to the small, but impressive Edeni Reserve for our first night looking for Africa Wildlife. We have dinner around the campfire. Many of the campsites have swimming pools, a bar and restaurant, making it very flexible and family friendly. Perfect for families who like the outdoors. After a stop at the Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, where we can see lion and leopard, we continue to the world-famous Kruger National Park. Two nights here allows us enjoy several game drives for maximum opportunity to see the big five.


We then continue to Hlane Reserve in Swaziland where we can experience a walking safari (over 12yrs only) and camp next to a waterhole watching the wildlife come for a drink at sunset. The safari tradition of a ‘sundowner’ (a G&T or the like as the sunsets) is practised as we watch the wildlife. Travelling onwards to the coast we visit the Mantega Village to learn about Swazi village life. At the coast we have a boat tour at the St Lucia Wetland Park, a UNSECO heritage site to see turtles, hippos and crocodiles. Further south we have a couple of nights in Durban for a little beach time before heading inland to the Drakensberg Mountains. These stunning mountains are our last stop, and there are options of walks, mountain biking or an adventure park whilst here. Our accommodation here is haven of peace and tranquillity in sight of the mighty escarpment, and a beautiful end to an incredible 2-week adventure holiday through South Africa with the family.

This fantastic family adventure holiday in South Africa is a busy itinerary, with lots of sightseeing, wildlife viewing and interesting activities. There are a few long drives and game drives in safari vehicles on dirt roads and tracks. Accommodation is in a mix of chalets, lodges, apartments, safari-style bush camps and campsites. Many campsites have swimming pools, a bar and restaurant, making it relaxing for all members of the family. Everyone is asked to help the guide out whilst camping with preparing dinners, washing up and the like. There are a number of superb swimming opportunities. We request that all children are supervised by their parents during any swimming based activities. Direct flights from London to Johannesburg make this destination very appealing to families seeking wildlife and adventure.
