South Africa Family Holidays


Family Holidays
South Africa family holidays offer the perfect mix of wildlife, exploration and relaxation.

Zip through the treetop canopies of Tsitsikamma National Park, spend sun-soaked days on the white sands of Plettenberg Bay, and head out on safari in search of the legendary Big Five. With incredible scenery, diverse wildlife and memorable experiences at every turn, a once-in-a-lifetime family adventure awaits.

Fly drives are one of the most popular ways to explore South Africa, offering complete freedom and flexibility to travel at your own pace. With an excellent choice of family friendly hotels and inspiring local tours, it’s easy to tailormake a holiday that suits your family perfectly. Prefer someone else to take the wheel? Join an expert-led guided group journey, or an organised chauffeur drive, and sit back while every detail is taken care of.

With more than 50 years’ experience, Trailfinders has developed the skills and expertise needed to put together all the pieces for an unforgettable family holiday. Our expert travel consultants are a mine of information and are the best people to ask to create your perfect trip.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT SOUTH AFRICA?

The best time to visit South Africa varies by region. Generally, most people travel between November and March when the weather is warm, sunny and dry. The exception to this is Greater Kruger National Park where the cooler months between May and September are the best for game viewing.

The diverse region of KwaZulu-Natal benefits from a year-round tropical climate. In short, there really is no bad time of year for a South African holiday!

For more information, take a look at our guide to the best time to visit South Africa.
