Family holidays in Sub-Saharan Africa
For years Africa has been held close to the heart of explorers and travellers alike; captivating figures such as Livingstone or Hemingway with its raw energy, wealth of culture, awe inspiring landscapes and unique wildlife.
From the moment you arrive in Africa, the pulse starts to race, the main attraction is the wildlife; watching the magnificent wildebeest migration cross the Mara River, drifting effortlessly through the Okavango Delta or down the Zambezi as elephants feed at the rivers edge, trekking through dense rainforest to see the mighty Silverback Mountain Gorilla or enjoying the famed Etosha and Kruger national parks. Away from the wildlife the warmth and friendliness of the people provides the magnetism that will enthral the whole family.
Independent family trips can also be organised on most of our trips.
