From the dreamy beaches of the southern coast to the safari parks of the northeast and the vineyards of the Western Cape, luxury South African holidays promise astonishing natural spectacle. Beyond the beautiful landscapes, Africa’s southernmost country also delivers on culture, cuisine, art and history in its vibrant, cosmopolitan cities.
What could be more exciting for your whole family than a wild animal safari? Perhaps it could be topped by whale watching or swimming with dolphins, however with all three on offer in South Africa you won’t even have to choose. Thornybush Game Lodge in Kruger extends a warm welcome to ‘young rangers’ with special educational walks, picnics, animal tracking and treasure hunts. We know how precious your family holidays are, so browse our options below or contact us if you’d like more choices.
‘Colonial African Experience’
Shamwari Riverdene Lodge on the Shamwari Game Reserve is a restored frontier homestead which now serves as a luxurious and family-friendly safari resort. Situated overlooking the Bushman’s River, this lodge has 9 luxurious rooms which are suitable for families as well as being inviting and spacious. The main lodge features indoor and outdoor dining areas, a bar, a children’s activity centre and a relaxation retreat. For entertainment, guests are welcomed on two daily game drives to see the wild animals of Africa, an experience not to be missed. Guests are also welcome to visit some of the nearby centres such as the Born Free Foundation and the Rhino Awareness Centre.
We believe that true luxury is only possible when all the details – the ones that really matter to you – are taken care of personally, professionally and to the highest standard.
