After a few days to settle in, you’ll journey just two hours outside of Cape Town to the breathtaking Whale Coast at Walker Bay. This stunning coastal haven is packed with family adventures in an unforgettable landscape!

Watch migratory whales from land, sea, or even air for a perspective unlike any other! Families can embark on a thrilling marine safari or take to the waters for shark-cage diving, spotting a variety of shark species in one of the world’s most diverse marine ecosystems.

For land-based fun, explore scenic mountain trails or ride horseback along pristine beaches. Together, uncover the cultural heritage of the San and Khoikhoi at the ancient Klipgat Cave and enjoy local culinary delights inspired by the Cape Floral Kingdom. The Whale Coast is the perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure for every family member!

Marataba | Marakele National Park

Marataba | Marakele National Park

Nestled within the malaria-free Waterberg Mountains of Limpopo, Marakele National Park, meaning "a place of sanctuary," is a wildlife haven perfect for families.

Home to an impressive range of antelope such as sable, kudu, and tsessebe, along with African giants like elephants and rhinos, Marakele is ideal for spotting both prey and predators, including lions, leopards, and hyenas.

For multi-generational families, the private Marataba Reserve within Marakele offers a rare rhino conservation experience, allowing guests to actively participate in efforts to protect these magnificent creatures. This 51,890-acre sanctuary, with its two luxury lodges, combines diverse safari adventures with a focus on conservation, offering an unforgettable and safe experience for family bonding and creating lasting memories.

Tswalu Kalahari

Tswalu Kalahari

Your final safari destination is Tswalu Kalahari, South Africa's largest privately owned game reserve, set in the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Kalahari Desert. With arid savannahs meeting the Korannaberg Mountains and stunning ochre dunes, this exclusive sanctuary offers a safari experience like no other.

Spot four of the Big Five, including the rare black-maned lion and black rhino, alongside desert-adapted wildlife like cheetah, oryx, and brown hyena. One family highlight is observing habituated meerkats up close—a favorite among wildlife enthusiasts.

For an even more personal experience, Tswalu provides exclusive-use private homesteads, allowing your family to immerse in the wilderness in total privacy.
