Classic South Africa - A Fair Trade Family Safari

Ideal for the first family visit to South Africa, this tour encompasses beautiful Cape Town, whale-watching in Walker Bay, several stops along the famed Garden Route, and a Big Game African Safari!  The accommodation we have selected is the cream of our Fair Trade accredited partners, meaning that your holiday will not only give you and your family an amazing and educational experience, but you will be making a significant difference to the destination and its people after you return home.

After your overnight flight to Cape Town, spend four days in the Mother City to relax, explore and indulge! Climb Table Mountain, relax on beautiful sandy beaches, visit Robben Island or go shopping - the list is endless!  Hermanus it the place to be from June to November, as the southern right whales come to Walker Bay to mate and calve – experience the best land-based whale watching in the world!

Driving along the Garden Route, you will come across the rare gem that is Hog Hollow – enjoy a boat trip up the Keurbooms River with a sumptuous picnic basket, or bungee jump at Bloukrans if you dare – it’s the highest in the world!  Experience a moving township tour in Port Elizabeth and gain some insight into the apartheid era and how the black people were oppressed. Interact with the locals and hear their heart warming stories of hope.

Your tour ends with the unmistakable highlight that is the Amakhala Game Reserve. Come up close with Africa’s Big 5, either on a game drive with your experienced ranger, or on a leisurely boat cruise along the Bushman’s River. Enjoy the smells and sounds of Africa as you wind down on your memorable holiday.
