Travel Tips

A general rule of thumb is that children over the age of 8 years are “safari ready”. Many lodges will accommodate younger children on game drives, but keep in mind drives can be in excess of 5 hours. As parents you will also be required to manage noise levels specifically at sightings

Keep children entertained on game drives with their own set of binocular and camera. A few snacks and a note pad with pencil will also come in handy!

Request a private vehicle for your family. If availability allows most lodges will happily arrange this for you

Younger children will enjoy a guided “brumble”. Your safari guide will walk them around the lodge perimeter introducing them to indigenous plants, insects and folklore. The duration of the walk is approximately 45 minutes

Consider Malaria free reserves when planning your family safari. Otherwise speak to your medical practitioner about the necessary precautions specific to your family

Family rooms offer a great base and place for afternoon play. Board games and story telling around the camp fire are other great ways to connect while on safari
