Many of our best bush memories are of taking our own family to safari Camps and enjoying their sense of wonder and discovery as we experience the bush anew through their young eyes and ears. The African bush is the most amazing natural classroom where children of all ages learn almost without realizing they are learning, soaking up new information as the bush unfolds around them.
Hosting families in the bush is also an amazing experience, especially where different generations of the same family are travelling together. In our busy modern lives, we can lose touch with the people who matter most to us and an African safari holiday, where the stresses and strains of daily life are left far behind, is the perfect way to unwind, reconnect and spend true quality time together. Family safaris & holidays in Africa are amazing!
There are many ”family friendly” camps, lodges and hotels in Africa, that have special amenities and offerings such as activity bags, special kids menus, baby-sitting options, along with a variety of child friendly activities on offer. Reduced rates are often applicable, and many have family rooms available. There are great family itineraries available in South Africa (many are in malaria-free areas), Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe, Kenya and Tanzania
