South Africa Family Safari Explorer

In this corner of spekboom-studded plains, expect impressive biodiversity. Game drives offer the chance to spot the Big Five alongside rare species like the blue crane, black-footed cat and crowned eagle. You can also track elephants and buffalos through the bush on foot.

Adventure awaits the whole family in Kwandwe’s private reserve. On guided nature walks, watch your little ones become explorers as they search for smaller critters and master the art of identifying wildlife prints and bones.

For an experience as rewarding as it is memorable, join a specialist ranger to monitor endangered black and white rhinos. Rhinos were successfully reintroduced here through the Kwandwe Rhino Conservation Trust. Learn about the cutting edge methods keeping them safe.

At the southern tip of South Africa’s Cape Peninsula, experience the wonders of the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Journey along rocky coastline to see sugar white beaches and native fynbos. As you explore, keep your eyes peeled for ostriches and Cape sugarbirds. Then, head for Boulders Beach to witness African penguins in their natural habitat. Or visit the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens to admire endemic plants framed by the slopes and summits of Table Mountain.

Take an exciting trip up to the top of Table Mountain on the aerial cableway. Follow the walking trails along the top of the mountain looking for daisies and fynbos, while enjoying incredible views of the city and Atlantic Seaboard.

Staying in Grootbos grants you a front-row seat to spectacular sightings of southern right whales. Between June and November, they migrate to warmer waters from Antarctica. Marvel as they leap from the waves, just offshore. Or set out by boat to cruise beside these majestic giants, keeping your eyes peeled for dolphins along the way.

Enjoy a leisurely ride through Grootbos’ stunning reserve. Guided by a seasoned expert, you’ll connect with the nature of the Whale Coast from a different perspective.
