We have designed two exciting excursions for your children, depending on their ages:

RHINO & LION PARK - For children from 5 up to 11 years  

The Rhino Lion Nature Reserve is situated in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. The reserve has a variety of wildlife, such as white Lion, Tigers, Cheetah and Wild Dog. There are 20 different herbivore species including white Rhino, Gemsbok, Springbok and many others. Children are allowed to hug lion cubs under supervision.

LESEDI CULTURAL VILLAGE - For children from 12 up to 16 years  

We invite you to experience the spirit of Ubuntu at this Unique Cultural Venue where the people of Lesedi welcome you with music, song and the warmth of Africa. One of Lesedi’s many differentiating factors is the village’s natural and tasteful incorporation into the surrounding bush, river and forests, with five traditional homesteads including Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, Basotho and Ndebele. Local families live permanently in each of these five homesteads and visitors are invited to observe the African way of life by enjoying a short tour of the villages. This is a destination not to be missed

Your rental car will be delivered at Villa Schreiner on 10.00 hrs. Less than a three-hour drive north of Johannesburg lies Entabeni Safari Conservancy, “The Place of the Mountain”, and is situated in the World Heritage “Waterberg Biosphere” of the Waterberg region. This 22 000 ha malaria-free reserve boasts five eco-systems. The upper escarpment offers majestic craggy rock formations and wide open grass plains. This is separated from the lower plateau by 600 meter high cliffs. The lower escarpment is about three degrees warmer and comprises sandy wetlands. Children are welcome and will be permitted on game drives as from 6 years of age. Where possible, depending on the number of children in-house and the availability of additional vehicles, special game drives for the children can be arranged. 

2 nights stay in Entabeni Safari Lodge (full board, including 2 x gamedrives per day)

After an early morning game drive you will drive back to Villa Schreiner. In the early evening we organize a ‘Family Braai’ (BBQ). Your children will enjoy this and can even stay and play at the poolside in our tropical landscaped garden.

The V&A Waterfront is a treasure trove of fun and exciting experiences, to be discovered...new journeys await around every corner, be it Magic Puppet Shows or activity workshops with Alfie, clowns and buskers keeping you in stitches ..sure to have even mom & dad joining in! If you've had your fill on being the little fashionista, there's toys galore, movies and loads of computer games to be discovered - not forgetting the opportunity of playing between the gems at the Scratch Patch and challenging Mom or Dad, to a round of Cave Golf...definitely fun for the entire family. If you loved "Finding Nemo", the Two Oceans Aquarium is just the place to spend hours on end...learn so much about our aquatic friends and the way they live, within their underwater world, including the new "Frog Exhibit".  You could even see how some really brave folks “swim” with the sharks. 
(NB: Kiddies Strollers/Prams can be hired, including Kiddies Tags, which should allow Waterfront Security contacting you, in the event of your child being lost and then found by a member of staff or the public)

We have designed two exciting excursions for your children, depending on their ages:

TWO OCEANS AQUARIUM - For children from 5 up to 11 years 

A series of some thirty-two exhibits comprises the Oceans of Contrast - Atlantic Ocean Gallery which introduces some of the animals from beneath the waves of the cold Atlantic. Our volunteers at the Touch Pool and Microscope will provide you with fascinating snippets of ocean information whilst you experience close encounters with some weird and wonderful ocean creatures. The Afrisam Children's Centre allows children (and those who are young at heart!) to express their experiences of the Aquarium through drawing, painting and clay modeling. Daily puppet shows are a treat for everyone as Peter the Penguin invites you to participate in song and dance. 

ROBBEN ISLAND MUSEUM - For children from 12 up to 16 years 


During apartheid many black people were kept on Robben Island as political prisoners. Former President Nelson Mandela was kept there. The prison was known all over the world for its harsh conditions and when the political prisoners of the apartheid government were released Robben Island became a symbol of the strength of the human spirit. Visitors can expect an enriching experience. There’s plenty to see on the island: from the maximum security prison which held political prisoners from the 1960s, to the memorabilia of prisoners incarcerated there, to the quarry mines where prisoners were forced to dig, to the church, to the many buildings dating back to the Second World War. There’s a small village where the island’s main center is located.
