Detailed Family Vacation Itinerary: 7 Day Cape Coast Family Beach & Safari
Day 1-3: Arrival / De Hoop Nature Reserve
Guests are met and welcomed at a location of their choice in Cape Town by their African Sky guide. After completing a few formalities, we travel east through the Overberg to Swellendam at the foot of the Langeberg. De Hoop Nature Reserve protects about 34,000 hectares of terrestrial habitat, with a marine reserve extending three nautical miles offshore. Optional activities are available at guests’ own expense.
Day 4: Sanbona Wildlife Reserve
After a relaxing morning, we head north via Barrydale, crossing the Langeberg through scenic Tradouw Pass into the Little Karoo. A short stretch on Route 62 and gravel tracks leads to Sanbona’s Gondwana Family Lodge. After check-in and time to settle, enjoy your first activity in this pristine, malaria-free wilderness.
Day 5-6: Sanbona Wildlife Reserve
Sanbona conserves roughly 62,000 hectares in a functioning Karoo ecosystem and offers a Big Five experience. Its scale is comparable to the 65,000-hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Morning and afternoon game drives maximize wildlife activity. Children enjoy indoor and outdoor activities, an interpretive garden trail, and the Sanbona Activity Book. Enjoy lodge comforts between activities.
Day 7: Departure
After the final morning activity, your transfer returns to Cape Town International for onward travel—bringing a memorable Western Cape family beach and safari holiday to a close.
