Warmbaths – A Forever Resort 

Situated in the heart of the bushveld, this is one of the ultimate child-friendly resorts in the Limpopo province. 

Aside from the multiple water activities that include water skiing, speed slides, and super tubes, the resort is saturated with several heated pools, a spa, and a jacuzzi – ensuring that you return home feeling rejuvenated. 

Kam’Bati River Resort 

If your family enjoys outdoor adventures, then the Kam’bati River Resort is definitely one to visit during the June school holidays. 

Located 20 km west of Swellendam, this destination spoils visitors with clean surroundings, electricity, and the option of choosing either self-catering cabins or luxury Africamps tents. 

The Self-Catering Cabins cater to couples in their romantic 2-sleeper units, but also to families in their 4-sleeper 2-bedroom units. The cabins are situated on the edge of a beautiful dam which is a stone’s throw from the majestic Breede River. 

So, what are you waiting for, start booking and ensure that this winter holiday is one to remember.
