Selfdrive with all the trim
Ideal for the May holidays: a journey of discovery for the whole family of two weeks long, slow travel. Right from your arrival in Cape Town, you'll have your own car that will allow you to explore the highlights of South Africa at your own pace with the family. Varied landscapes and plenty of excursion options for the whole family! Table Mountain, Robben Island and the Cape Winelands are just a few. And of course the penguins at Boulders Beach! Then you'll drive through the beautiful mountain landscapes, along rugged coastline, through lovely interiors full of unique flora to the heart of the Garden Route. Recommendations are Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, as well as Tsitsikamma National Park. You will always stay in family-friendly accommodations with special children's programmes.
The Big Five
Ticking off the Big Five should not be missed on a trip through South Africa! Under the guidance of specialized guides, you will make two jeep safaris a day in Amakhala, the best private game reserve in the Eastern Cape. 7,000 acres of beautiful bushfield, rivers, valleys, lawn and except for the Big Five, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and many species of antelope. Children from 6 years of age can go on safari. For the little ones but also for the periods between the drives there are special children's programs.
