From the game lands of Kruger to the peaceful coastline of the Indian Ocean, our South African family adventure hits all of the highlights. Spot the Big 5 on multiple game drives, both in vehicles and on foot, before falling to sleep to the sound of the bush at rustic camps and lodges. And when you're not immersed in the country's great wild side? Get closer to the local culture - old and new - with trips to a traditional Zulu village and into the kingdom of Eswatini. Spot the Big 5 - Hop between South Africa's top game reserves, including Kruger and Tshukudu for the chance to see lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Walking Safari - Get closer to the country's beautiful creatures on a walking safari in Eswatini's Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. Kosi Bay - Relax on the unspoilt beaches of the Indian Ocean, where we have two days to unwind or spot turtles and whales (within season).
