Family safaris

Safari works brilliantly for families, provided the trip is built for them. That means shorter driving days, camps with family units or adjoining tents, a pool for the middle of the day, and a guide who will teach a nine-year-old to identify tracks rather than lecture about ungulate taxonomy.

Note that some camps set minimum ages, and a few walking activities are 12+. We will tell you upfront which places will and will not take your children.
