Artisans of Leisure's luxury travel blog: South Africa for Families

South Africa is an incredible destination for families, especially when it's done right.

Singita_Ebony.jpgA luxury safari is undoubtedly a highlight of any South Africa tour, and Artisans of Leisure will work closely with you and your family to customize your safari experience. We can provide specialized services such as private rangers and safari vehicles, private chefs and special meals for travelers on restricted diets, and private charter flights.

Our Africa travel specialists stayed at all of the top safari lodges in South Africa and have selected the very best lodges and rooms for families in legendary safari destinations such as Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Kruger National Park.

Royal_Malewane.jpgWe've also selected the best luxury safari lodges in lesser-known but equally outstanding wildlife destinations such as Thornybush Reserve and the malaria-free Madikwe Reserve and Kalahari Desert.

Tswalu_family_travel_Kalahari.jpgWe arrange private family safaris in the optimal places to see members of the Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos and Cape buffaloes) and other popular animals such as zebras and giraffes. We also know the best destinations in South Africa for birding and seeing smaller and more elusive animals such as aardvarks, wild dogs and meerkats.

For example, we arrange unique wildlife encounters around Cape Town such as visiting a cheetah rescue center, touring an ostrich farm, whale watching off the South African coast, seeing penguins on the Cape Peninsula, and watching a shark feeding at Two Oceans Aquarium Cape Town.

Cape_Town_aquarium.jpgCultural touring is another highlight of our South Africa tours. Among the many options are meeting local musicians, taking an African dance lesson, and learning to prepare Cape Town's distinctive Cape Malay cuisine. Perhaps visit a township to see how local people live or stop by a school to interact with local children.

Franschhoek Motor Museum.jpgFor a perspective on South African history, learn about apartheid at Robben Island, Nelson Mandela's house or the Apartheid Museum. Or, go much further back in time during a meeting with a paleoanthropologist in the Cradle of Humankind.

Cradle_of_Humankind_Museum.jpgWe can also arrange many family-friendly soft-adventure activities, such as biking, horseback riding, cruising aboard a private yacht off the South African coast, helicopter and hot-air balloon excursions over the bush, and private excursions to spectacular Victoria Falls in Zambia or neighboring countries such as Botswana.
