Having lived in Africa for 25 years in four different countries in national parks and wildlife areas, and raised a family here, family safaris are something of a speciality. A safari is one of the most magical holidays to experience as a family. Surrounded by nature, sharing exciting moments together witnessing wildlife and learning from amazing guides along the way, this is a very binding holiday with everyone on the same footing.

 

Children hate spending hours in a vehicle and the best family safaris combine active lodges with masses of activities, with enough wildlife to keep everyone in awe. The days are long, early starts to catch the best wildlife sightings after dawn, and long exciting days. You won’t believe how much you will pack into this time, and all the different memories you will take home. We recommend a week on safari at two different camps or lodges - you don’t want to move more often than this or you will spend days travelling rather than enjoying being on the ground and getting into the bones of a place. A few days at the coast relaxing in a private villa, a barefoot eco lodge, snorkelling, fishing and swimming in the Indian Ocean is an excellent way to recharge the batteries before heading home. Or if you are in Zimbawe or Zambia, ending up in Victoria Falls in a lodge overlooking the Zambezi, visiting the mighty falls and relaxing on the river is a wonderful way to end a safari.
 

We specialise in multi-generation holidays, children, parents and grandparents, once in a lifetime trips to the best lodges in Africa. Mindful of what is best for the grandparents, and the smallest ones, we have the perfect matches for everyone to ensure this very special holiday is more than what you hoped for.
