Family Safari South Africa – Lodge Tour

Family safari South Africa launches with your arrival at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, where a shuttle transfers your group to the lodge near Kruger National Park and Hazyview. The lodge, run by Anja from Germany and Gideon Barnard from South Africa, is a practical base for this kruger family safari. Over five days, tackle the Skyway Trail high-ropes course, zip-line over the Sabi River, and run 20 grade 2–3 rapids on the Sabie River across 8 km. An open 4x4 game drive into Kruger National Park covers the Big Five — elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard. Optional activities include elephant-back rides and quad bike tours through the African bush.

The addo elephant park safari takes place in Addo Elephant National Park, established in 1931 to protect this region’s elephant population. Today more than 350 elephants roam 164,000 hectares, and the dry summer months are the best time to watch herds and baby elephants at the waterholes. An optional whale-watching tour on the Indian Ocean adds Southern Right Whales, Bryde Whales, Humpback Whales, and Bottlenose Dolphins to the south africa family holiday experience. From Port Elizabeth, a return flight via Johannesburg completes this big five safari south africa itinerary, with an optional Johannesburg day tour to Nelson Mandela’s house or Gold Reef City.
