FAMILY

Family adventure holidays in Africa are not as strenuous as you may think – there are so many family-friendly destinations, where you can rest assured that both parents and children will be in good hands and be free to enjoy a well-deserved break.

Having small children may pose the question of malaria/malaria free areas? Yes, there are malaria-free areas – in South Africa particularly, where parents need not worry about the risk of their little ones contracting this disease. Game lodges which cater for families and are in a malaria-free area can be found in the Eastern Cape as well as in the Madikwe Game Reserve (north-west). This game reserve is fast becoming the most popular choice when it comes to South African safari holidays for families... lots of game…and sunshine, a vast selection of accommodation (to cater for various budgets), and... as with many other game lodges, have dedicated kiddies clubs, which offer supervised programmes, educational activities, nature walks... to ensure that the children will not be bored, but have ample fun and at the same time learn about the African Bush!

Of course, there are also resorts, which cater for the entire family……Sun City in South Africa being one of them, Zambesi Sun in Zambia being another...

Choosing Sun City – another opportunity for some malaria-free, child-friendly game experience in the adjacent Pilanesberg Game Reserve – and of course Sun City, a kingdom of indulgent fun for the entire family.

The options are limitless... Cape Town is a mecca for families with so many activities to explore…

Various hotels / guest houses offer babysitting service and trained child-minders, as well as family rooms... some even come with their own butler.

Some establishments / lodges are also age-dependent, which may make it easier to determine the destination / routing.

The choices can be rather overwhelming, but this is why you will be contacting Rootbound Exclusive Africa to assist you with the planning of your family holiday.
