Everything Your Spouse and Family Need to Make the Most of Africa
Child Programmes
We work closely with genuinely child-friendly hotels and lodges — not just child-tolerant ones — that offer educational and entertainment activities specially designed for young ones of all ages. Children aren't always interested in the same things we adults are, and this is exactly where these carefully selected properties come into their own. Children of all ages are welcome.
Watersports
Sun, sea and sand — the perfect setting for watersports that keep the whole family entertained. We offer sunset cruises, kayaking and canoeing among many other activities, along with destinations offering snorkelling, fishing and paragliding for the more adventurous members of the family.
Day Tours
We offer an exceptional and extensive portfolio of full-day and half-day tours spanning the breathtaking landscapes of Southern and Eastern Africa. Carefully curated across every major city and region, these tours are without a doubt the perfect way to keep the family thoroughly entertained while you're occupied with work commitments. There is simply no better, more immersive way for your loved ones to discover and experience the remarkable destination they're visiting.
Safaris & Tours
We offer well over 300 safari itineraries, from independent, tailor-made journeys to scheduled group departures — overland adventures, camping trips and luxury safaris alike. Whatever your family's preferences and budget, we have the variety to match. So when you're in Africa on business and the family is with you, why not go on safari?
Spas and Health Hydros
It's important to take time out to reconnect with ourselves — to appreciate the beauty of our natural surroundings and simply enjoy complete relaxation. Hot stone massages, manicures, reflexology and full-body de-stress packages are a sure way to rejuvenate body and soul while the family unwinds in style.
Cape Wine Routes
Whether it's the magnificent natural beauty, the rich cultural heritage or the world-renowned wines, the Cape Winelands embodies the very best of the Cape and South Africa. Franschhoek and Stellenbosch offer breathtaking views, towering mountains, crystal-clear streams and, of course, some of the finest wines on earth.
Hot Air Ballooning
An indescribable thrill as you drift silently over the treetops and hills of the African bush. Watching the sunrise unfold, accompanied by a champagne breakfast, is without doubt an experience your family will treasure forever. We offer ballooning in South Africa, Namibia, Kenya and Tanzania, among other destinations.
Hiking And Walking
With a wonderful selection of mountain ranges and wildlife reserves, anyone who enjoys hiking and walking will find themselves in nature's own playground. Fresh air, wildlife close at hand and not another soul for miles — Cape Town and the Kruger Park offer this and so much more, and they're just two of many examples.
Child Friendly Safaris
Travelling with children in Southern and Eastern Africa is safe, fun and genuinely rewarding. An African safari isn't just for adults — the whole family can travel and experience it together. At Uyaphi.com we'll advise on all your options and concerns, from malaria-free destinations to lodges offering child-minding services.
