Kids to Nature
A Child Friendly Safari is a great way to expose your kids to nature and wildlife without having to worry about the boredom they may experience on a regular safari tour. Family safaris are tailored to keep the excitement of being on a wildlife and birdlife-spotting safari alive and interactive for everyone. Getting true value out of your holiday investment means having an itinerary that will keep your kids alert and captivated throughout your family adventure. That's exactly what we can offer you. When customizing a family safari for kids, we know which activities are best to include and which to exclude in order to combine good wildlife sightings with keeping children interested and entertained.
One of the most frequently asked question we receive from our guests traveling with small children, is “What age can children go on safari?” There are no hard and fast rules which apply across the board when it comes to taking your kids on safari, and we suggest you consider 2 things when deciding whether to take them with you; one, will they be safe in the environment; and two, what will they take away from the experience? Really, children of any age can join you on safari and enjoy an experience in the bush, as long as you choose the right lodge or safari camp. In our opinion, children over the age of 5 are better able to appreciate the big game safari experience as they can concentrate for longer periods of time, allowing them to enjoy what’s in sight and take in any interesting information a guide has to give.
The best African Child Friendly safaris for single parents with kids are those that are flexible to your wishes and interests. There’s so much choice over where you go and what you do, making this a vacation when everyone involved can have their say. A sunrise game drive searching for prowling lions; an adventurous walk with bushmen; a camp that offers educational parent and child activities, such as learning to track spoor. You’re able to tailor a vacation that marries your children’s interests with the opportunity to spend uninterrupted time together. Go to a beach on vacation and usually there’s not enough to do; the children can get bored as it seems they are spending too much time with their parents. There’s so much going on in a city that you rarely have chance for genuine conversation. A safari finds a balance that may seem paradoxical. Everything is always changing, different wildlife and wild scenes meaning no two moments are the same. So it’s hard to get bored here. At the same time there’s a consistency you’re looking for: uninterrupted time with your kids.
