EXPERIENCES

An African safari is the ultimate family adventure.

Africa offers families the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and discovery.  It is also a wonderful way to introduce children to the importance of conservation.

 

From thrilling safaris tracking the Big 5 in South Africa or Kenya to unwinding on the pristine beaches of Lamu or Mozambique, every moment is a chance to connect with nature. 

 

Whether seeking wildlife encounters or coastal serenity, Africa’s diverse destinations promise unforgettable family memories.

A variety of activities ensuring your kids stay engaged and entertained throughout the safari

Special family rooms – kids are close to you and safe

No jet lag: If you are coming from the UK or Europe, there is virtually no time difference – start enjoying your holiday from the moment you arrive.
Great staff & guides: Brilliant with kids – what could be more exciting than having a Masai warrior as your guide!
Reduced kids rates: Many places have special offers for kids/teens, making family travel more affordable.
Go private all the way: Take a private safari house or beach house – perfect filled with 2 or 3 families. Alternatively, opt for a private guided mobile safari in somewhere like Botswana.
