Adventure Awaits
Safari & Club Med: The Perfect Pairing

What if your next holiday could combine beautiful beaches, exciting activities, family relaxation and the unforgettable experience of an African safari?
Club Med South Africa Beach & Safari brings these experiences together in KwaZulu-Natal, one of South Africa’s most naturally beautiful regions. It is an exciting choice for couples, families and adventurous travellers who want more than an ordinary beach holiday.
A Club Med resort beside the Indian Ocean
Club Med’s South Africa beach resort enjoys a coastal setting in KwaZulu-Natal, approximately 45 minutes from Durban. Here, green landscapes meet golden beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.
The resort has been designed for guests who want to relax while still having plenty to discover. Days can be spent beside the pool, walking along the beach, trying a new activity or simply enjoying the ease of a Club Med all-inclusive holiday.
KwaZulu-Natal is known for its subtropical climate and striking natural scenery. Its location also makes it possible to combine time beside the sea with an authentic wildlife adventure.
An all-inclusive South Africa holiday
Club Med takes much of the work out of planning a holiday. Meals, drinks and a broad programme of sports and activities are included, subject to the arrangements applying to the chosen booking.
The South Africa resort is home to Club Med’s first-ever surf school, making its Indian Ocean setting particularly special. Whether guests are eager to try surfing or prefer a more restful pace, the resort offers opportunities for both activity and relaxation.
There are also family facilities and children’s programmes catering for different ages. While younger travellers enjoy supervised activities and make new friends, parents can take time to relax and enjoy the resort.
For those seeking an elevated experience, the resort also includes an Exclusive Collection space with enhanced accommodation and services.
Add a safari at Vikela Safari Lodge
A visit to South Africa would not feel complete without experiencing its extraordinary wildlife.
A stay at Club Med Vikela Safari Lodge can be added to the beach resort holiday. Located within an extensive private game reserve, the lodge offers a contrasting experience surrounded by the sights and sounds of the South African wilderness.
Guests can join twice-daily game drives, with opportunities to encounter some of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife, including the animals traditionally known as the Big Five. Accommodation in luxurious safari tents brings together comfort and a sense of adventure.
Stays of one to three nights can be incorporated into the wider Club Med experience. This makes it possible to enjoy a beach holiday and safari without having to organise two completely separate trips.
Is Club Med South Africa suitable for families?
Club Med South Africa is particularly appealing to families seeking adventure without sacrificing comfort.
Family accommodation, children’s clubs, a family-friendly pool and a wide selection of activities help different generations enjoy the holiday at their own pace. Surfing is available for eligible children, while the safari lodge offers family-focused facilities and wildlife experiences.
Seeing South African wildlife in its natural surroundings can be a wonderfully memorable experience for children and adults alike.
A wonderful choice for couples
The resort is not only for families. Couples can enjoy beach time, sports, good food and quieter areas created for relaxation.
Combining the coast with a short safari stay makes this an attractive option for a honeymoon, anniversary or special celebration. It offers contrasting experiences within one journey: peaceful mornings beside the ocean, active afternoons and the excitement of seeing wildlife in the bush.
