CULTURAL TOUR

Explore the vibrant cultural heritage of South Africa with our cultural tours. Discover the 'Rainbow Nation' and understand what makes it so captivating.

From artisan producers in the Drakensberg Mountains to traditional homestays in Zululand, our tours take you on a journey through the country's nine provinces, each with its own unique cultural heritage.

Tantalise your tastebuds with braais and bunny chows, to responsible township tours and wine tasting, you'll experience the diversity that makes South Africa a Rainbow Nation.

Some tours take in a stretch of the magnificent Garden Route, allowing you to learn about medicinal plants and traditional hunting techniques in a Xhosa village, or admire the art deco architecture of Durban.

Our tours also take in everything from the Winelands to townships, where you can shop at local markets, blend spices at a Cape Malay cooking workshop and dig into Cape Town Street food.

Even the longest holiday in South Africa can only skim the surface here but travelling with responsible tour operators ensures that not only will you make the most of your time but also that your trip will have real benefits to the communities you visit.

 TRAVEL TIPS

• Take some entertainment for down time in safari camps – smartphone games, iPad apps, books, colouring stuff, playing cards, etc.
• Pack a small rucksack for each child to use as a day pack, great for taking in vehicles or planes.
• Be adventurous, children are more robust than you think and families often really enjoy simple fly camping and walking.
• Don’t rush – we advise at least three nights per safari camp – and don’t try to do too much on one family holiday.
