Destinations for a Luxury Family Safari
Recommended Locations on a Luxury Family Safari
A luxury family safari is the perfect way to spend some quality time together, with an added edge of excitement and adventure. Make the most of your time and be sure to include some of Africa’s most recommended locations, as this continent is really unbeatable in terms of stunning scenery, activities and game viewing. Visit beaches, deserts and rainforests or talk to tribesmen about their tradition and cultures – by the time your trip is over, your children will be begging you to book another luxury family safari.
All Aboard!
For an out-of-this-world experience take your family aboard the sumptuous Blue Train. World famous for its elegance and comfort, the Blue Train will whisk you on a thousand mile journey from Pretoria to Cape Town. Cabins are gloriously upmarket, with bathroom water flowing from golden taps and beds with linen so crisp you won’t want to lay on them! The 26-hour trip is sure to enhance your luxury family safari to a standard you never imagined as you relax and enjoy exquisite food, cocktails and high teas from the comfort of the lounge car, watching the amazing scenery pass you by. If you’d rather be out in the open, head to Botswana and book yourself a luxury family safari where you’re sure to be inundated with elephants. Linyanti or Okavango Delta are excellent places to tour and you can spend hours, either on walking or vehicle excursions, watching these amazing creatures socialize and interact with each other. But, if you’re looking for an even more extreme experience, try booking a safari by elephant back, experiencing the rivers, plains and general wilderness from their viewpoint.
Fly The Skeleton Coast on your Luxury Family Safari
Give your luxury family safari an exclusive twist and book a private fly-in along the Skeleton Coast. Take in the devastatingly beautiful scenery and wonder at the large areas of mist that cloak the area, providing virtually the only valuable source of water for many of the species that dwell there. Your children will pounce on the enormous whale bones that have been beached on the shoreline and picked dry by scavengers and gaze in awe at the huge castles of clay formed by the winds further inland. Over the course of three or four days, explore Hoarusib Canyon or watch out for crocodiles as you sail down Kunene River taking in interest facts bestowed by your guides. The list of places you can visit on your luxury family safari is almost endless but with a little research you’re sure to find places you will never forget.
