Ideas for a family adventure in Scotland

Discover the legends of ancient landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and St. Andrews University before breaking the city mould and heading for the hills.

Dramatic scenery and wide-open spaces lead the way to beautiful lochs, ancient forests and the hope of seeing some of Scotland’s wildlife.

A family adventure is just that, a journey of discovery across many genres, cultures and of course personal interests. Take in the surroundings as you explore by foot, car, boat, kayak and train.

Try you hand at fly fishing, enjoy dolphin watching or conquering one of the famed peaks on foot before settling in to enjoy the star-studded canopy above from one of Scotland’s dark sky discovery points.

Table Mountain, penguin and the winelands by bicycle

Cape Town is constantly ranked as one of the best cities in the world – and with good reason. Nestled under Table Mountain and set where two oceans collide the area is rich in history, food and culture. There is something for everyone, from hiking Table Mountain, to kayaking with penguins – enjoy a picnic lunch on a remote beach or dine in an ocean side restaurant.  Safaris are close at hand and with a short flight the eastern Cape is a perfect family safari destination and is malaria free.

Hiking in the berg, tracking wildlife and relaxing on the beach

If you are looking for a self-drive holiday in South Africa, then combining the mighty Drakensberg mountains with the game rich KwaZulu Natal region and its warm coast is ideal for you. The experiences on offer range from hiking to horse back riding, mountain biking to snorkeling, sunset boat cruises to early morning safaris – and there are great options for the whole family. The areas combine the best of the wildlife and include rhino, elephant, whale sharks and turtles not to mention the rest of the Big five

 A fully serviced multi activity Cairngorms experience

A flying experience in South Africa might be the best option for you - a combination safari including some self-explorations in the Kruger followed with a high quality guided safari at one of the top lodges in the region. A few hours flight away, the Garden Route is a beautiful part of South Africa and areas like Kynsna and Hermanus are perfectly suited to family adventure and relaxation. Wrap up in Cape Town with some delicious food and great exploring on foot, by bike, SUP or kayak.
