Safari with Kids

The pure magic of Africa is most aptly reflected in the classic gaze of a child the first time they set foot in the bush. Classic symptoms are a gigantic open-mouth, enormous wide-eyed  stare, and a curious phenomenon that few of us parents encounter these days…complete and utter silence!

The Insider's Guide to Kids in the Wild
Africa is stunning to all of us but watching our children or grandchildren gaze for the first time at a baby giraffe or a massive black-maned lion - there is simply no greater pleasure in life than being able to witness their wonder firsthand!

 

Not all camps and lodges accept children, and the very young do not always respond well to travel, but in our experience it is possible to move about successfully with a child as young as four. With the introduction of malarone paediatric, Africa has become a more realistic option for many families and we take our family's health and well-being to heart. Expert advice on all aspects of your trip will ensure a well educated and researched traveler. This will make all the difference for your Safari and will make the journey so much more fun for all. Reading books and tales of Africa, watching the movie classics and the ultimate…packing for the trip - these are all essential and not to be missed before you embark on your grand adventure! Kenya's prolific wildlife, vibrant cultures and boutique camps make it an ideal destination for all ages, sizes and interests. Kenya’s stunning green hills, vast savannas and high desert plains boast something for everyone and evoke the Africa of a bygone era. Picture warriors swathed in robes of red and painted ochre, magical camps plunked in the middle of nowhere and Kilimanjaro – the throne of Africa perched in a golden ocean of savannah. This is the Africa of the "Lion King" and of "Out of Africa," a veritable wilderness kingdom for kids from 2-92!

There is no better way to spend quality family time than on an action-packed safari adventure!
