Tours of South Africa

It's a wonderful world and there's no better way to experience its magic than by taking your family on an family adventure holiday. Travelling with children is incredibly rewarding as they see, hear and are in awe of the small things that us adults can sometimes take for granted. With 30 years history of running adventure travel holidays, coupled with our experience of travelling with our families, we know exactly what it takes to make a family adventure. Each of our family adventures has been designed to ensure that both parents and children get the most out of their holiday. Whether you are a regular KE client looking to share your pioneering spirit with the children, or you are dipping your toes in the waters of adventure travel for the first time, you should find your perfect holiday amongst our family adventures. Exotic cultures, breath-taking natural environments and amazing historical treasures have never been more accessible for the whole family to enjoy.

The Garden Route - Family Adventure South Africa

Never a dull moment on this family adventure holiday on the South Africa coastline. Starting in the incredible Addo Elephant Park in the East we have 2 game drives seeing these great lumbering creatures before travelling to Plettenberg Bay. Two days here gives us some fabulous options of visiting ‘Monkey Land', a Raptor rehabilitation centre or an elephant sanctuary. Of course we could just relax on the beach! It's then to Oudtshoorn to the Ostrich farm, a Meerkat tour, and in Hermanus we can go whale watching. The accommodation throughout the holiday is well presented, most having swimming or dip pools available. We round off with a couple of days in Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula, including a boat tour to seal island and the truly mesmeric penguins at Simon's Town. This holiday is awesome and just superb for families who love wildlife.

Our tours are packed with action and adventure, travelling through a country to experience its culture and to meet the local people. But they’re also about experiencing the awesome beauty of the natural world, the most inspiring landscapes on every continent. You could join one of our Inspiring Landscapes tours to see for yourself the soaring peaks of the Himalaya, experience the vast emptiness of the Sahara, walk in the immense Amazon Rainforest or witness the spectacular, wind- and water-eroded landscapes of the western United States. Closer to home you could wonder at the soft contours of Tuscany’s rolling hills or the dramatic, lava-strewn volcanoes of Iceland. When you discover these landscapes with Explore you won’t just be having a look, taking a photo and moving on. You’ll appreciate them all the more by staying longer and interacting with nature, usually on foot: getting in amongst the mountains, the trees and the sand-dunes – and really soaking up the atmosphere of the place.
