South Africa
This could be your next unforgettable destination
South Africa is made for LGBTQ+ family holidays. This gay-friendly country offers so much for couples with kids, including the chance to see elephants roaming through reserves with their calves. We know the coolest child-friendly safari camps and also the best places to stay in Cape Town. There’s plenty for little ones to discover in the capital, including the penguins waddling around Boulders Beach, the chance to make sandcastles on Camps Bay Beach, and feeling like you are on top of the world as you get higher and higher in the Table Mountain cable car.
Once in South Africa, you can eat and drink like royalty for a fraction of the price back home, making this a really fantastic option for a family holiday.
Elle Says:
South Africa is also fabulous for a honeymoon. Vineyards, swanky art galleries and picturesque self-drives along the Garden Route can be perfectly paired with boutique luxury hotels.
