Dear fellow traveling families,
Outside Magazine names Quivertree top family operator in South Africa!

Outside Magazine has just announced their 2013 Travel Awards, naming South Africa "Best Family Destination," and pointing to Quivertree Family Expeditions as the top family travel operator to customize tours to the country. We're now leading the charge in what is currently the world's fastest growing travel trend: multigenerational travel.

In April's issue, Outside Magazine describes South Africa's appeal to traveling families: "With brilliant megafauna, more than 1,800 miles of stunning coastline, and great wine (for parents), South Africa is a natural first step for families looking to explore the world's second-largest continent."

While we offer unparalleled custom-built experiences on six continents (all but Antarctica, but we're game for that if you are), as native South Africans, Outside sees we have special insight into how best to showcase the country's golden white sand beaches, mountain ranges, and wildlife, to families.

"Coming from a country so rich in spectacular experiences, especially for families, it was natural to highlight South Africa among the destinations we customize trips in. We're happy Outside Magazine sees what we do in this destination," said Gideon. "Our long-term contacts allow us to show our guests the special, hidden corners of the region that usually only locals get to see."

Any given South African trip could include swimming with penguins on a Cape Town beach, sleeping on a raised platform surrounded by the sounds of the wilderness while on safari, or spending a day or two on a working ostrich farm and guesthouse, joining the farmers on their rounds and eating the country's most impressive local food.
