When going on a family holiday you may have a wide range of ages- from the very young toddler to the older grandparents. It can be hard trying to find something that you can all do together and that everyone will enjoy.

If you are planning a trip to South Africa and have never been before, then you may want to spend some time researching the local areas to find out what is nearby and what activities you may want to do as a family. It may be that your main reason for going to South Africa is so that you can go on a safari trip. If this is the case then this may take up most of your time. When planning your safari, make sure that it is suitable for all the ages of people in your group. You may even decide to split your group in to two so that some of you can do one activity whilst others do something else.

Have a look at what beaches are nearby and what areas there are for the kids to enjoy. If you have very young children, they may not enjoy the safari trip as much as you so it might be quite nice to spend the rest of the holiday taking part in activities aimed at their age group.
