We are planning 2 weeks in S. Africa in May. Spending 4 nights doing a Safari in Kruger Park and then the remaining time in Cape Town.
The safari is fine with our daughter who is almost 3. My husband doesnt think SA is good to bring our daughter, but I really want it to be a family vacation, plus she LOVES animals and so do I.
Can anyone give me any advise or anything on if it ok to bring a child to.

your agent handling the safari trip should be able to tell you which places have kid friendly safari parks. Some do not allow kids. We used asia to africa (you can google them) and they were very helpful.

Thanks Scot. Where did you stay in Cape Town?
Kmom, we are/have booked it on our own, not thru an agent.

Can anyone now recommend a hotel or guest house in Cape Town? Centrally located under $100. US

hi jassy67
We travelled through Zimbabwe and Mozambique with our 6 year old and 1.5 year old boy. Although we had friends to help, our kids loved the trip. I suppose its a case of how well your children behave. I remember approaching a herd of zebra on safari and having our boy scream......let's just say the zebra didn't hang around for long......well, we thought it was funny. We now look at all our awesome photographs and our children ooo and aaaa at all the amazing animals they remember.
I think you can travel anywhere with children. It's all about being prepared. Bottles, nappies, toys and a sense of humour. Wouldn't dream of travelling without them.
Cheers and have a great trip.
