    Can I book a Family Tour if I’m not traveling with a child?

    • Explore!OperatorWritten December 2024

      Family Tours are specifically designed for families traveling with children. Unfortunately, these tours are not available for booking if you are not traveling with a child. This ensures the experience remains focused on creating a family-friendly atmosphere and catering to the needs of young travelers and their families.

    Asked on June 16th, 2022

    we are arriving in Joburg and would like to take such a tour to Durban or similar. We would prefer to join a small group tour but could also go private, depending on availability and price. The kids are 12, 9 and 7 years old at the time of the trip.
