According to The South African, Mzansi has ranked among the top three African countries worth visiting with children.

In the recent study, Go2Africa first compiled a comprehensive list of all the countries around the world. They then analyzed over 300 000 4 to 5-star rated family-friendly hotels, attractions and restaurants from Tripadvisor. The aim was to find out which country has the highest percentage of relevant places to eat, sleep and enjoy.

Thereafter, they calculated the percentage of family-friendly places relative to the total number of establishments in order to determine the best child-friendly destinations.

As per the results of their study, South Africa ranked as Africa’s third best family-friendly destination, with The Seychelles and Morocco receiving first and second place respectively.

‘South Africa is the third best family vacation destination in Africa, offering everything from action-packed cities, beautiful beaches, relaxing resorts, and notably Big 5 safari parks like Kruger National Park.

The country has a well-developed tourism infrastructure and is considered safe for family travel, with plenty of amenities and services catering to the needs of families with children,’ wrote Go2Africa.

South Africa was also commended for the diversity it offers as far as memorable family experiences go. From beach bliss to stunning safaris, there is indeed something in store for everyone.
