Family Adventure Holidays In South Africa
You don't need to be in Kenya to be on safari
. Indeed, in the Kruger National Park, you will be able to spot the big five whilst enjoying the peaceful beauty of the national park. Combine this with a journey from Johannesburg in the North to Cape Town in the South, to experience the best of what this country has on offer. On route you will get to experience the majesty of the Swaziland hills and the breathtaking scenery on view from the Drakensberg Mountains. Camping on route is one of the best ways to meet fellow travellers and many of the campsites offer ready built family tents or chalets, so you don't have to worry about pitching up at the end of a busy day.
Southern Coast
The southern coast of South Africa is a popular route for family adventure holidays. The road that runs from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town is known as the Garden Route and takes in some spectacular scenery, as well as plenty of opportunities to engage with the local wildlife on a variety of game drives and animal sanctuaries along the coast. Dolphins, Southern Right Whales and even Great White Sharks can often be seen off the coast and if you prefer to get up close and personal with the local fauna, there are many companies offering a chance to cage dive with the sharks or to scuba dive on the reefs around the cape.
Near to Cape Town, there are many glorious wineries in which to spend a day supping the best South African produce. As well as the wine, these vineyards will also introduce you to some of the best local food delicacies, so go with an empty stomach and prepare to be amazed! If you like your travel with a bit more adrenaline, then there are numerous opportunities for mountain biking, bungee jumping and other exciting sports around this amazing country.
Skiing
South Africa is not one of the first places to spring to mind when you think about
ski holidays, but in the north of the country, there are some fantastic ski resorts, which offer a chance to ski or snowboard down some of the finest powder in the southern hemisphere at the right time of year. Combine your ski holidays with a safari to really see every facet of this colourful country.
Whatever you want to get out of your holidays, South Africa is a big enough and varied enough country to accommodate pretty much any wish. Keep the whole family happy this year with a trip to the rainbow nation and see for yourself how much you can get out of an adventure holiday here.
