Bush and beach safaris, Southern Africa

The expression, "Variety is the spice of life" also goes for planning a family safari in Africa. By combining a big game safari with a slow-paced beach break, your family can experience more while in Africa. Many families begin their trip to Africa with a safari adventure, enjoying daily game drives in wildlife-rich reserves before heading to the coast to unwind on white-sand beaches. Africa has safari and beach destinations close enough so you can watch the sun slowly rise over the African plains while on a game drive and go to sleep at night to the sound of lapping waves and rustling palms.

Southern Africa

Southern Africa has some glorious stretches of coastline with immaculate beaches: Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, the dramatic Skeleton Coast of Namibia, Cape Town in South Africa — the list goes on. What’s more, these idyllic coastal destinations are within easy reach of fabulous safari lodges in the game-rich national parks of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

East Africa

The palm-lined tropical beaches of East Africa can also add flavour to your family safari itinerary. Barefoot luxury and coral-reef diving on remote Tanzanian islands like Zanzibar and Pemba can be easily combined with Big Five safaris in mainland parks like the Serengeti and Tarangire. Likewise, far-flung Lamu Island off Kenya’s tropical coast has swimming beaches and species-rich dive sites just a short flight from the Masai Mara National Reserve.
