A World in Two Countries

It's easy to fall in love with South Africa, as few countries can offer so much for visitors including magnificent wildlife, breathtaking scenic beauty, award-winning cuisine and wine and cosmopolitan shopping and entertainment. However, the heartbeat of this 'Rainbow Nation' is her inspirational and diverse people, who will provide the warmest of welcomes to visitors.

Whether you visit Mauritius or The Seychelles Islands as an extension to your trip to South Africa, or for a single destination holiday, you will marvel at the idyllic white beaches, friendly people and excellent facilities for children. Oman and Dubai offer the opportunity for a desert safari combined with relaxation by the sea and shopping in atmospheric souks.

Further information these wonderful destinations can be found in our attractions and activities pages.

Realistic Adventures

An overnight flight, with little time difference from Europe, will cause minimum disruption to routines and there is no need for any health precautions to be taken when visiting any regions covered by this web-site. Self-drive is an excellent option with a good road infrastructure and giving you the freedom to travel at your own pace.

English is widely spoken, making issues such as travel and childcare straightforward. We appreciate that value is important to parents, and you will find all our rates highly competitive and South Africa is also great value for money once you arrive.

See our Practicalities page for more detail about the issues to consider before booking.

A wide choice of Parent-Friendly Hotels and Safari Lodges

Whilst there is so much wonder to share with your children, we appreciate that you may value some 'time out', perhaps to play golf or enjoy a spa treatment.

See our accommodation pages for a wide choice of hotels and lodges which offer excellent facilities for both parents and children. You will find information traditionally found in a brochure, alongside details regarding the various room options most suitable for families and information about special facilities, children's meals and supervised activities/childcare options.

Whether you choose to stay in a luxury safari camp, a Cape Dutch Homestead on a Vineyard, a thatched villa by the beach, or a boutique hotel on its own waterfront quay (or all four!), Bushbaby Travel can create the perfect holiday for your family.
