Kruger and East Coast
Create your own ideal holiday
If your family are passionate about animals and wildlife, head to the north and east of South Africa for some of the best wildlife spotting opportunities. Spot the Big Five on safari in the famous Kruger National Park, and the smaller private reserves around it, or observe the vast numbers of elephants in Addo Elephant Park. In our summer, the risk of malaria is minimal, making this region suitable for families with younger kids. Children as young as six can already join the safari.
Choose your favourite bite-sized trips in the region from our selection below and your South Africa specialist will piece them together to create a tailor-made holiday just for you.
