You don’t have to leave the country to have the break of a lifetime. From sunny beaches to the beauty of the bush, South Africa will make you feel spoiled for choice when it comes to family-friendly destinations for a little holiday fun.

Have a blast in Cape Town

You’ll never be stuck for things to do with kids in Cape Town, be it catching a cable car up Table Mountain or heading to Boulders Beach for penguin spotting. Don’t miss a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium - right next to the V&A Waterfront offering an array of shops, restaurants and the giant Cape Town Wheel, offering a bird's eye view of Robben Island. If you head a little further afield, you can enjoy a day in the winelands. Many estates boast world-class menus, delicious tastings and have sprawling lawns and play areas with fun activities for kids. 

There’s lots to do in Durban 

Prefer to wade in warmer waters? Durban is where it’s at. The “sunny city’s” Golden Mile features some of South Africa’s most popular beaches as well as lifeguard-manned paddling pools and slides to delight the kids. You’ll find even bigger slides at the Wet n Wild water park, a part of uShaka Marine World where you can catch a dolphin show or let the kids explore the largest jungle gym in Africa. Durban is also just 38km away from PheZulu Safari Park if you’d like to set off on a guided game drive, visit the reptile park or watch an action-packed Zulu dancing show.  

Enjoy a break in Johannesburg 

The city of Gold offers a wide variety of attractions for families with kids of all ages. From rollercoaster-riding in Gold Reef City, a gold mining-themed fun park, to getting up close and person with over 320 different animal species at the Johannesburg Zoo. Creative kids can whip up a masterpiece at Artjamming in Melrose Arch or Colour Café in Dunkeld, while those seeking adventure can embark on a treetop aerial obstacle course at Acrobranch’s Melrose location that’s suitable for kids as young as three. 

Remember, safety first!   

Going on a “local is lekker” holiday is fabulous, but only when you’re playing safe. Traffic accidents and burglaries spike over the Easter period, so ensure you have adequate Car Insurance and Home Content Insurance. Also, if you’re taking your valuables with you, consider All Risk Insurance that can protect your portable possessions like smartphones, cameras and laptops – even those designer sunnies – regardless of which city you visit. 

Another type of insurance to consider is life insurance and the best time to get it is today. The younger and healthier you are, the lower your premiums will be.
