The legendary Garden Route is often enjoyed by a more mature audience given the vineyards that line the lush route through South Africa – but there’s plenty to enjoy for the whole family. Luxury travel specialist Scott Dunn has designed a seven-night itinerary for families that is perfect for the southern hemisphere’s summer climes, from $ 12,496 (AED 45,900) per person.
Your family adventure in the Eastern Cape begins on safari at Ecca Lodge in the beautiful Kwandwe Private Game Reserve. Spend four nights at the ultra-modern and contemporary lodge, which is fantastic for children of all ages. The large suites each have their own private deck and plunge pool (which can be fenced for smaller children) overlooking the Great Fish River.
After a few days in the wilderness fly to Cape Town and discover the delights of the cosmopolitan city, staying at Cape Grace Hotel. The city is a thrill for families, with potential trips up Table Mountain, heading right down to Cape Point to the (almost) most southern tip of the continent or seeing the penguins at Boulders Beach.
