Go on a Junior Safari at the Mount Nelson Hotel

Are your little ones wild about the wilderness and crazy about critters? Take advantage of our two-night family package and enjoy a host of safari-themed treats and activities within our walls.

See your mini-explorers’ eyes light up as they enter their room to find a fabulous play tent, complete with scatter cushions and animal-shaped biscuits. Spotting our Safari Adventure map, they’ll be keen to roar off on a treasure hunt through the grounds, solving clues to identify our on-site creatures and win a fluffy prize. Later, they can cosy up in their own slippers and dressing gowns, as you read them an “animaltastic” bedtime story.

And it’s not only juniors who receive treats. We welcome our grown-up guests with a bottle of local wine, fresh fruit and flowers in your room. 

Our hideaway is a haven for families. Enjoy tennis lessons on our courts, swim in the huge, heated pool, play hide and seek or soccer in our glorious gardens and visit our five-star wormery.

For creative pastimes, our children’s centre offers an array of arts and crafts activities for ages 4-10. Here, they can make beaded jewellery, magnets or bookmarks, paint watercolours or craft crazy clay animals. Each creation is designed to be light and easy to take home. Many happy hours can also be enjoyed with games such as beanbag toss and Zingo or playing make-believe in our cute Wendy House.

Be captivated by Cape Town

When it’s time to step outside the gates, the Mother City is full of family-friendly attractions. Our concierges know all the hot, happening places, such as Boulders Beach where you can swim with jackass penguins, or the Two Oceans Aquarium teeming with denizens of the deep.

And if all these animal antics have you craving more, plan your next adventure with Belmond Safaris and get up close to the real thing!

The Junior Safari package is available for a minimum of two nights, and this includes breakfast.
