Children love stories about lions, giraffes, elephants and other wildlife, so why not take them to see the real thing.

Although Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands have always given the impression that they are not the best place to visit with children, we would like to prove this wrong. Hello Africa Travel has access to a wide range of child-friendly hotels, resorts, villas, lodges and game reserves, in South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Kenya, Namibia, The Seychelles and Zambia that welcome families with genuine warmth and hospitality.

These destinations offer spectacular beaches and a wide range of hotels and resorts to suit all budgets, so why not combine a safari and beach holiday to keep everyone happy. Those wishing for a more relaxing pace can take time out to relax on one of the many golden beaches or wind down at the hotel/resort swimming pool, while the more active take advantage of the plentiful outdoor activities on offer, including those ideally suited for children.
