Family Safaris - Things to do

Riding safari at Ant’s Nest in the malaria free Waterberg region, South AfricaShowing children the African bush and all its secrets will almost certainly be the highlight of your holiday. But a family safari doesn’t just mean game drives. Although sitting in a vehicle is perhaps the most conventional way to view game, it’s not the only one. We know that children will get bored in a vehicle for hours on end so will be able to suggest all sorts of other ways to explore the bush.
