These are the top 4 family-friendly African countries for vacations
Travelling with children is no easy task. There’s a lot to consider to ensure that both parents and children have an enjoyable time abroad.
To help families find the best holiday spots, Go2Africa conducted a study analysing 365,969 family-friendly hotels, attractions, and restaurants in Africa.
Using this data, they identified which countries have the highest percentage of highly-rated, family-friendly places to eat, sleep, and enjoy.
Seychelles
The island nation of Seychelles is ranked as the best country in the world to visit with kids. It boasts the highest proportion of family-friendly hotels, attractions, and restaurants compared to non-family-friendly places, cementing it as a top destination for parents.
Numerous bays in Seychelles are shielded by offshore reefs, offering protection from the open sea and creating shallow waters ideal for children. It’s also incredibly safe, with no vaccination requirements, no dangerous animals, and no natural disasters.
Morocco
Morocco, which ranks second, might seem like an unlikely choice, but its cities, souks, and the Sahara offer uniquely diverse experiences for both kids and parents. Families can explore historic medinas in Marrakech, Fes, and Chefchaouen, where children can enjoy colourful markets, intricate architecture, and lively street performances.
Visiting ancient Roman ruins like Volubilis, as well as stunning palaces and gardens, provides a fascinating glimpse into Morocco’s rich history and heritage.
