Locations Across South Africa for an Unforgettable Easter
One of the best things about The Capital is that we have hotels and apartments in multiple locations across South Africa. This means you can choose the destination that excites your family the most for Easter 2025. Each location offers unique attractions and family-friendly activities. Here’s a glimpse of what you can expect in our most popular destinations:
Cape Town – Coastal Adventures for the Family
Cape Town is a fantastic choice for an Easter family getaway, combining natural beauty with city entertainment. The Capital has two prime properties in the Mother City: The Capital 15 on Orange and The Capital Mirage. Both are centrally located and offer stunning views of Table Mountain and Lion’s Head right from your window.
Family-friendly activities in Cape Town: Take your kids on the Cableway up Table Mountain for an unforgettable view, or enjoy a picnic at the scenic Kirstenbosch Gardens with Easter eggs for the little ones to find. The V&A Waterfront is perfect for family outings, with the Two Oceans Aquarium and harbor boat rides. On Easter weekend, you might even catch special events like an Easter egg hunt at a local park or a festive market. After a day of exploring, return to The Capital for a dip in the pool or a family movie night in your spacious suite.
Johannesburg & Pretoria – Urban Fun and Safari Thrills
For families who love city excitement, Gauteng has plenty to offer. Johannesburg, South Africa’s bustling metropolis, and nearby Pretoria provide a rich mix of attractions. The Capital has several hotels in these cities, including The Capital On The Park and The Capital Empire in Sandton (Johannesburg’s premier district), as well as The Capital Menlyn Maine in Pretoria. These locations put you right in the heart of the action.
Family-friendly activities in Johannesburg & Pretoria: In Johannesburg, you can take the family to the Gold Reef City theme park for thrilling rides (and maybe a chocolate treat or two), or visit the Johannesburg Zoo for a fun day with animals. The interactive Sci-Bono Discovery Centre is great for curious young minds. Pretoria offers the Pretoria National Zoo and the beautiful Union Buildings gardens – perfect for an Easter Sunday stroll.
If your family is up for a short drive, a wildlife safari at Pilanesberg National Park or a visit to the Lion & Safari Park can add an adventurous twist to your Easter break. After busy days out, your Capital hotel’s comfy beds and maybe a quick room-service pizza will be just what everyone needs!
Durban – Beachside Easter Escape
Durban on the east coast promises warmth, beaches, and a laid-back vibe – just right for an Easter escape. The Capital has a gorgeous property in the Durban area: The Capital Pearls, located in the upmarket Umhlanga area along the beachfront. (We also have The Capital Zimbali up in Ballito, a resort set in a lush coastal estate, perfect if your family loves a mix of beach and nature.)
Family-friendly activities in Durban: Start your day with a beach walk on Umhlanga’s golden sands – Easter in Durban usually means sunshine and pleasant weather ideal for sandcastle building and maybe even a swim in the Indian Ocean. Take the kids to uShaka Marine World, a fantastic aquarium and water park, where they can learn about sea creatures and enjoy water slides. Stroll along the Umhlanga Lagoon Nature Reserve trail for some outdoor exploration.
Many restaurants and the mall adjacent to The Capital Pearls often have Easter promotions and kids’ activities like face painting or egg decorating. Back at The Capital Pearls, the whole family can enjoy the expansive pool deck overlooking the ocean. Don’t forget to watch the sunrise on Easter morning – it’s truly magical by the sea.
Mpumalanga (Mbombela) – Wildlife and Nature Getaway
For a more off-the-beaten-path adventure, consider an Easter getaway in Mpumalanga. Our Capital Mbombela hotel in Nelspruit (Mbombela) is a gateway to some of South Africa’s most spectacular natural attractions.
Family-friendly activities in Mpumalanga: This region is perfect for nature-loving families. Embark on a day trip to Kruger National Park for an exciting self-drive safari – Easter time falls in autumn, which is a great season for game viewing. Your kids will be thrilled at the chance to spot elephants, lions, and giraffes!
If you prefer a scenic drive, explore the Panorama Route: marvel at God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and the Blyde River Canyon. In Nelspruit itself, you have the iLanga Mall right next door to our hotel (shopping and entertainment all in one place) and the Lowveld National Botanical Garden for a relaxing walk among waterfalls and tropical plants. After your adventures, The Capital Mbombela offers a comfortable retreat—maybe enjoy a family dinner at our restaurant reminiscing about the day’s wildlife sightings.
