GUIDE FOR FAMILY BEACH VACATION WITH AFRICANMECCA

Watching your children grow, learn and explore is one of the most endearing parts of being a parent. Yet, with active schedules and adult responsibilities that need careful attention and tending, you often find that family time is not as fulfilling as you wish. A family beach holiday is a perfect chance to let your little ones frolic and play, and AfricanMecca Safaris is your personal advisor for planning a superlative coastal escapade that will thrill, excite parents and children alike!

The variety of beachfront settings, child and budget-friendly accommodations and almost endless activities ensures that you and your clan will build lasting memories, bonds and cherish every moment! As parents ourselves who beach break in distinct Eastern and Southern African countries with our children, we understand that planning a long-haul trip for your family have both pleasurable and practical sides, so we offer expert insider guidance on health concerns, budget, accommodation selection, flights and timing for your trip specific to each country.



Regarding health concerns during travel in Africa, we advise parents to consult with their family physician regarding the required and booster vaccinations based on your household medical history; though, we have general guidance by the CDC or NHS on what shots family guests take.

All of the accommodations that we recommend do take precautions against malaria by covering the beds and/or windows with mosquito netting, some even fumigate their grounds too to lessen any exposure. Additional steps that you can take are bringing insect repellent and ensuring access to malaria prophylaxis.

Our beach consultant can provide details and answer all of your questions. Our goal is to give you a dream African vacation, so we carefully balance your budget with the experience. We personally visit beach hotels, resorts, private villas, seaside lodges that we recommend, each different from the other in its distinct family offerings. Some of the accommodations offer family rooms, so you feel at ease as your child sleeps near you. Children’s menus and kid-friendly activities are also available.



Whatever you desire, AfricanMecca will ensure your utmost satisfaction. A bush safari in the interior wilds of Africa is a popular choice for our household guests who combine it with a seashore experience of the continent, which indeed hosts a variety of beautiful beaches, ranging from popular seasides to desolate castaway island escapes e.g. Zanzibar, Seychelles, Mombasa, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Mozambique.

An ideal African oceanshore retreat, though, is largely dependent on the time of year. Like other parents, you may be arranging your travel to coincide with your children’s school breaks, such as summer, Christmas and New Year’s or even Easter for families from Europe. Easter coincides with the start of the rainy season in Eastern Africa and the last phase of the rainy season in Southern Africa, so you may have some days of precipitation.

The summer break months are when most international visitors come to Africa, so you may experience higher numbers of tourists, although many come to enjoy the inland areas and wildlife. Christmas and New Year’s is another popular time, so flights should be arranged well in advance to get your seats at a sensible fare.
