Questions families usually ask
We host families with children from age 4 and
up. For younger children, we recommend lodges with dedicated childcare. Most
families travel with kids ages 6-16 and have an incredible experience.
Absolutely. You'll be in a private vehicle at
all times during game drives. Our guides are trained in child safety, and all
lodges have secure, fenced grounds. We include medical evacuation coverage on
every booking.
We design family itineraries with shorter
drives (2-3 hours max) and built-in breaks. Most lodges have pools and gardens
so kids can play between drives.
Every lodge we use for family safaris has
interconnecting rooms or family suites, kids' menus, and child-friendly
activities. We hand-pick properties specifically for families.
June to October is peak season with excellent
wildlife viewing and dry weather. December to March is also great with fewer
crowds and calving season in the Serengeti. We align departures with U.S. school
breaks.
Our 10-day family safari starts from $6,500
per person. Children under 12 typically receive a 20-30% discount. We'll provide
a detailed quote based on your family size and dates.
Absolutely. We regularly host
multi-generational families. We adjust pacing and lodge selection to make sure
everyone - from age 6 to 76 - has a wonderful time.
Every lodge accommodates dietary requirements
- from allergies to vegetarian to gluten-free. We communicate all needs in
advance so meals are prepared properly.
Start Planning Before the Window Changes
The best family safaris happen when you plan ahead while schedules align, kids are the right age, and the wonder of Africa can become part of your family story.
