Family Safaris

Family Safaris

Safaris that work for every age, planned around your family.

Travelling Together

A Safari The Whole Family Can Share

Seeing wildlife together is something families remember for years. We plan family safaris at a pace that suits everyone, from camps that welcome children to activities with something for each age.

Tell us who is travelling and what they enjoy, and we will shape the trip around them.

Family Moments

More Than Game Drives

Picnic blankets and a table set beneath trees in the bush

Bush Picnics

A relaxed meal outdoors breaks up the day and gives children room to move.

Pool Time

Cooling off at camp between drives is a welcome break for younger travellers.

Life In Camp

Camps are part of the experience, with wildlife often passing close by.

Where To Sleep

Rooms That Work For Families

Where available, we look for family units or tents that sit close together so parents and children are never far apart. Room options vary by camp, so we confirm the layout before you book.

Time Out Of The Vehicle

Keeping Every Day Varied

Long drives are not for everyone. We mix game drives with time in camp, short activities and, where the camp allows, boat trips or walks, so the day never feels too long.

Good To Know

Planning With Children In Mind

Ages

Minimum Ages Vary

Some camps and activities have minimum ages. We check each one before we propose an itinerary.

Health

Malaria And Health

Please speak to your doctor about malaria precautions and vaccinations. We can share what is relevant to each destination.

Pace

A Pace That Fits

We can build in shorter drives, rest days and fewer camp changes, so everyone enjoys the trip.
