For guests considering a southern African holiday with children, they’re coming to the right place and, the right people. Thompsons Africa fully understands the needs of families, and has specialised in identifying a broad range of uniquely child-friendly locations and activities, so a family holiday becomes just that - a holiday for every member of the family. Adults are given space to enjoy both solo and together time, and likewise the children.
Southern Africa is the perfect children’s playground. The climate and outdoor lifestyle lends itself to so many activities which children love, some with which they’re familiar, others they’ll experience for the very first time. And the family is there to be part of it. Whether it’s a gloriously carefree time on the beach, wonderment at wildlife in a game reserve, or simply ample green space to expend that excess energy, Thompsons Africa invites children to come out here and play.
Child-friendly hotels and game lodges happily cater for smaller members of the family. These select establishments across southern Africa provide camping cots, extra mattresses, sleeper couches and often inter-leading or larger rooms specifically designed to make family life that much easier. Their focus is on creating an environment which not only welcomes children, but ensures it’s not a silent adult zone. Most go the extra mile and more for families, by discounting their rates for children, offering an enticing children’s menu, quality child care services, and a host of small things which make a big difference.
