Children on Safari

Elope - Children on a Safari Wedding Safaris for kids The real keys to planning a safari for kids lie in the selection of bases, guides and activities that are suitable. Some activities which are specifically age restricted to 15+ including walking and canoe safaris can still accommodate 11 year olds. They may however require a specific guide and are limited to certain camps and locations. Some activities are strictly not permissible for youngsters. For couples planning a destination wedding with kids, a second wedding or honeymoon for the family it is important to approach a destination with children in mind. Child friendly safaris can be organised in South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, Zanzibar, Mozambique, Uganda, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Kids often change character in the bush. Without exception we've found that youngsters whose attention span is normally no greater than that of a flea suddenly become totally engrossed in the new and foreign safari experience. They can turn into "knowledge sponges" and sometimes put us adults to shame. Like being introduced to a new plant on day 1 and then being able to identify it botanically and list it's tribal uses verbatim on next sighting in completely new terrain several days later.... (to the parents the second sighting was just another amazing vegetable). We've had excellent safaris with children - in all cases it's had to do with the nature of the parents so you'll know instinctively whether your children will fit a safari.

Children on Safari South Africa is the most family country in Africa. Having said this, there are many varites of activities that are family friendly, according to the age of your children. Safaris: A trip to South Africa is incomplete without a Safari to see the wildlife. However not all Lodges have the same policies with respect to allowing children on game viewing drives. There are the Public Parks the most famous being the Kruger National Park. We have a company that offers 2 and 3 night packages to the park from Johannesburg, that includes game drives, as well as a return tour through the Panaroma route. If you prefer a private game lodge, there are lodges that offer game drives to younger children. Depending on the age, we can best fit the Safari Lodge, with your needs. However it will be difficult to expect a lodge to allow infants and real young children of 2, 3, 4, etc on game drives, due to Safety issues. This is due to kids not being able to sit quite for long periods of time. The main difference between the Public parks and the Private lodges is the ambiance ie the latter are small and intimate, and in the private lodges, you can drive off road and track animals.

Tanzania safari holidays have been made famous by wildlife parks such as the Selous game reserve and the Serengeti National Park, which adjoins the Masai Mara in Kenya.

Both Tanzania or Kenya safari holidays allow you to witness the famous 1.5 million wildebeest migration that takes place across the Masai Mara, which to witness is considered by many as the ultimate African safari holiday experience. Zambia is amazing for families, children and adventure seekers.

We consider this one of the best destinations for a wedding ceremony or reception with kids, family breakway, honeymoon with children. In the Victoria Falls region hotels, camps and lodges are suitably geared for children, baby sitting and organising activities for youths such as white river rafting, helicopter safaris, elephant encounters, quad bike adventures and nature walks, Zambezi sunset cruises and fishing. We can plan an adventure family holiday in Botswana. Children's safaris usually occur in Chobe Botswana.

Like adults, children must not wear bright colors in the wildlife areas, and should also use a good sun protection cream and lotions to protect them against insect bites. A sunburnt, itchy child is not a pleasant traveling companion. It is advisable for families to book their own vehicle when game viewing in the bush - some lodges enforce this policy.
