Family Safaris – Travel With Kids To Africa in 2025 – 2026
Perfect family vacation packages to Africa are not that easy to come by. They are not the type of holiday packages that you simply pick and book. By family safari vacations, we mean adults (parents and/or grand parents), taking an African safari vacation with children, or even grand children.
As the adult planning and putting together the details of the safari trip, you might be tempted to think that whatever you find interesting and exciting would similarly interest the kids. That may or may not be the case. Children, depending on the age, can be extremely inpatient besides getting bored so easily. If not planned well, a family vacation might turn out to be long hours of driving on dusty tracks with moody, grumpy kids who begin looking forward to the end of the trip even before the trip is mid-way through.
Child-Friendly Safari Hotels and Lodges in Africa in 2025 and 2026
Some safari lodges are of course more family friendlier than others. A good number of safari camps are however not toddler or infant-friendly. In fact, we would discourage taking children below the age of 5 years on any safari. Besides the accommodation not being designed for their comfort, the dust and heat that is inevitable part of the safari game drives and activities may not be good for the younger kids.
However, with proper planning, you can get it right and end up with a very rewarding family safari as a holiday. What is required is careful planning and the willingness to compromise on some things.
