One of the major draws of South Africa must be the opportunity to see the Big 5 in their natural habitat, without having to venture in to a malarial zone.
From self-driving around a National Park to 5 star treatment on a Private
Game Reserve, there is a safari experience for every budget and age of
child.
Visiting a sanctuary or park in combination
with a safari allows for you and your family to get closer and
learn more about South Africa's rich wildlife heritage.
South Africa's stunning coastline straddles
two Oceans rich with marine life and caters for all preferences with both sophisticated
resorts and 'wild' coastal areas. Mauritius offers tropical
paradise, with stunning white sand beaches and gentle warm seas,
perfect for young swimmers.
From
the life of early man to more recent human struggles, South Africa's Heritage
is fascinating and inspiring. Known as the 'Rainbow Nation' for the diversity of her people, visitors can enjoy a unique variety of cultural performances. Mauritius also represents a profusion of cultures, reflected in the many festivals.
South
Africa is renowned for its award-winning food and wines,
offered at a truly affordable price for visitors from the
U.K. A visit to sample vintages in the Wine Regions is also
highly recommended. Mauritius is also host to some excellent restaurants,
with seafood a speciality.
From browsing in shops in the shadow of Table Mountain to a bustling
Mauritian market, shopping opportunities abound. VAT at
a rate of 14% can also be reclaimed in South Africa, making purchases particularly
affordable.
A
number of the Hotels we feature have superb Spa facilities,
in unique surroundings, to ensure you feel totally relaxed before you return
home.
Where else can you
play golf in an extinct volcano, with the added hurdle of
crocodiles guarding the 13th hole, or on a course situated on its
own tropical island?
South Africa
and Mauritius offer excellent waters for a variety of fishing experiences, including
deep sea and trout.
Opportunities
are plenty, from water-skiing in tropical waters to cage diving with
Great White Sharks in cooler climbs!
We
feature a number of hotels and lodges which provide excellent facilities
for horse-riding in a variety of environments from Game Reserves
to Vineyards, for all ages and abilities.
There
are many opportunities to share an adventure with your children, such as a hot
air balloon flight over a National Park or a Helicopter ride in
the Cape! We also recognise that, as a parent, you may still be keen to try
a bungy jump, or perhaps it provides the best excuse of all?!
