Bush and beach safaris, Southern Africa
Bush and beach safaris
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.

Itineraries
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.

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.
