What does a small group family holiday entail?
Tours last at least two weeks, and you’ll travel with a minimum of two expertly trained crew – a driver and a guide, for example, with local guides as extra in certain locations. As there are children involved, long drives are kept at a minimum, there are plenty of rest stops and you don’t tend to travel every day, though you should expect some early starts. Teen-friendly trips may include slightly longer drive times.
Small group means massive advantages. You can stay in locally owned, small accommodation, and visit communities without overwhelming them, allowing you a deeper connection with local people. What’s more, your kids will have ready made friends to share their adventures with and you’ll have like-minded fellow parents to relax with after each exciting day.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. Our tours have a minimum age of between seven or 12, depending on the style of trip. For the most part, longer, camping based overland trips are restricted to those aged 11 plus; while trips taking a slower pace, with stays in guesthouses and tented camps are ideal for younger children. On trips for teenagers, your kids will have to be 10 or over and under 18.What are the itineraries like?
Each itinerary is designed to help you discover the best of the country, which means combining heavy hitting highlights with off-radar gems that independent travellers might miss. There will be plenty of wildlife watching on the cards, and you’ll spend time in star attractions such as Kruger National Park then perhaps take in little-known treasures such as Tshukudu Game Reserve, too, travelling with guides who have years of experience in getting the best sightings. Responsible small group holidays also aim to introduce you to local people. This could include being guided around attractions by local guides, visiting local curio markets or traditional Zulu villages or taking a guided tour of Soweto.Our top South Africa family Holiday
