Kruger and East Coast
Create your own ideal holiday
Wildlife spotting in Kruger NP and the East Coast
Start planning your South Africa family wildlife holiday with our bite-size trips. From glamping in the Kruger area to attempting to spot the Big 5, or perhaps exploring the Addo Elephant Park, head to the north and east of South Africa for some of the best wildlife spotting opportunities in the world. Safaris are suitable for children aged 6 and above, but we recommend families with younger children to visit in our summer months, when the risk of malaria is minimal. If you’re concerned or unsure, just get in touch with your travel specialist.
Discover our favourite bite-sized trips in the Kruger region below, and if you want to explore more of South Africa, or are not sure where to start, take a look at carefully designed South Africa tours that highlight the country’s incredible diversity, offering routes and a pace created just for families.
