South Africa: Epic Family Adventure

Go inside South Africa on a family adventure created by Tauck and BBC Earth!

How would you and your family like to… stand eye-to-eye with an ostrich as you ask him for a ride, fist-to-talon with an eagle happy to perch on your arm, trunk-in-hand with an elephant as you go for a walk... take a drumming lesson, make tasty samosas and meet a cheetah ambassador during a three-night stay in Cape Town ... zip line through the treetops and go whale and seal watching on a private boat cruise during two nights at a Garden Route estate… take a bicycle tour of Soweto and visit a tribal school in the bush... mingle with monkeys during a walking tour with a private guide…go on safari game drives to spy the Big Five when you spend three nights in a wilderness lodge near Kruger National Park... and learn more about wildlife with cameramen's gadgets, like night vision goggles and infrared cameras, to see and hear things not normally experienced by family travelers to South Africa. You can do all this and more on this new Earth Journey that is limited to 34 guests!

Experience information

South Africa
South Africa is a country on the southernmost tip of the African continent, marked by several distinct ecosystems. It is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere. It is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world.
\r\n\r\n
With golden beaches, jagged mountains and national parks overflowing with wildlife, South Africa is the Africa you’ve always imagined. While memories of a troubled past remain, the republic is well on the way to regaining its throne as the holiday capital of Africa, visited by nearly 10 million people every year.
