Tour Overview
Search for big cats, walk with penguins, meet meerkats, summit Table Mountain and explore subterranean caves. All in just 11 days. No wonder the Western Cape of South Africa is one of the top destinations in the world for a family getaway. This highlight-filled adventure encompasses the very best of the region with lots of time to encounter the extraordinary local wildlife and get into nature (including a night glamping in the Karoo with your very own wood-fired hot tub). Expect smiling faces all round and memories to last a lifetime.

Food
All breakfasts, one lunch and two dinners are included.
The food you’ll encounter is very similar to the kind of food you’ll be used to at home. There may be the opportunity to try meats such as ostrich, kudu or eland. Vegetarians and vegans can be well catered for on this trip – please inform us at least two weeks’ before departure of any special dietary requests so our local team can be well prepared.
One of the included meals of the tour will be a braai (South African barbecue). Braais are serious business for South Africans and should never be called a barbecue! Steaks and boerewors (a spiced sausage of beef or pork) are typically served but others options will be available.
Where meals are not included, the leader will recommend a restaurant for a group meal. Dinners can cost on average £12-18 ($20-30) per person and lunches from £5 to £8 ($8 to $13).
The water provided on this trip is safe and clean drinking water, normally from boreholes. It is not bottled water, however. If you would rather have bottled water then this will be at your expense, though we would encourage you to make use of the safe drinking water provided as this helps diminish plastic consumption.
Accommodation
We mostly stay in three-star lodges and guesthouses. In Hermanus, Montagu and Oudtshoorn, we assign one unit per family which will have up to three bedrooms. In Cape Town and Simonstown, families will be assigned rooms next to each other. On one night we glamp in the Karoo in permanent tented camps for a quintessential African safari experience. Tents are made of canvas and sit on wooden decking and can accommodate families of up to five people. Each tent has two bedrooms, a private bathroom, and a hot tub. In Cape Town, we are centrally located, typically close to the V&A Waterfront. Many of our other nights have great views of either a harbour, ocean or mountains. In addition to this, most properties have pools and Wi-Fi.
