Unforgettable family holidays in Africa

We craft enriching family adventures that open minds, strengthen bonds, and make a difference along the way

We recently returned from a two week trip in Namibia with our three children. The whole experience was exceptional. Polly’s passion for travel and great knowledge of the country helped shape what was a truly unforgettable and unique experience that the whole family will remember.

Thank you, Polly, for giving our family the adventure of a lifetime in Mozambique. From whale shark snorkeling to surf beaches and deep sea fishing, every detail was perfect. It gave us a much-needed digital detox and unforgettable time together with our four kids. We came home reconnected, refreshed, and full of amazing memories!

 Thank you so much Polly for organising our amazing family adventure to Namibia this year. Our kids will be talking about all the fun things we did together for years to come!

The Lane family, SA

What a dream family holiday we had in South Africa planned by Journey South. The combination of safari in the Waterberg followed by adventures in Cape Town and the Winelands was the perfect October half term break. Packed with magical moments, you masterminded everything meticulously and gave us everything we had hoped for and more!

  • Postcard from Namibia: #happyclients the Sparks family just sent me this photo, from climbing Dune 45 at sunrise "It was completely breathtaking - the sun was rising and the moon was setting at the same time. Thank you Polly this has been such an amazing adventure".
  • Falling asleep under the African sky with the Milky Way above and the sounds of the bush all around, is an experience not to be missed. But for families, it’s imprtant to know which sleepouts are suitable (or safe) for the ages of your children. Some allow from 6 years old - others from 16.

We know the star beds that work for families, the ones that balance comfort, adventure and age-appropriate design. From rooftop sleepouts in the Namib Desert to star beds in Kenya and raised platforms in Botswana, we’ll help you choose the right one to make this experience possible for all members of the family.

Here are three of our favourite.
