South Africa family trip: Cape Town, Winelands and Kruger in 11 days (10 nights)

11 days · South Africa · Cape Town → Kruger

For families who want a Big Five safari as well as the Cape. Four nights in Cape Town cover the peninsula, the Winelands and Table Mountain. Three slower nights follow in Franschhoek among the wine estates. A domestic flight then leads to three nights of guided or self-drive safari in and around Kruger National Park, where the rest camps suit families. Kruger is in a malaria area, so families should take medical advice before booking.
